OFFICE SPACE 10th Anniversary Screening!

OFFICE SPACE 10th Anniversary Screening!
Sunday, Feb 8 at Paramount Theatre

Originally released theatrically on February 19, 1999, writer/director Mike Judge’s OFFICE SPACE was well received critically but did not initially click with the general public. It wasn’t until the film hit video and cable TV that it finally found its audience, soon becoming one of the largest selling catalog titles in the then-burgeoning DVD market. It has since gone on to become one of the biggest selling titles in Fox Home Entertainment history and is a modern day comedy classic.In celebration of the film’s 10th anniversary, Fox Home Entertainment will be releasing the film on Blu-Ray DVD on Tuesday, Feb 3rd.

That following Sunday, Feb 8th, South by Southwest Film Conference & Festival and Fantastic Fest will co-present the ultimate OFFICE SPACE screening at the legendary Paramount Theater. This one-time only screening event will take place at 8:00 PM and will include special appearances by writer/director Mike Judge and members of the cast and crew to be announced at a later date.

Additionally, there will be exclusive giveaways courtesy of Fox Home Entertainment, and co-presenters SXSW and Fantastic Fest have promised special OFFICE SPACE  activities before and after the screening. If you are a poorly functioning office fax machine, however, you may want to avoid the festivities entirely.
