Synopsis by Andrea LeVasseur
The feature film debut of the Chicago-based Sneaky Kings production company, Dot is an independent mockumentary about the rise and fall of an Internet startup company called Zectek.com. The company is started by leader Si (Simeon Schnapper), nerdy Stan (Steve Walker), and salesman Mitch (Michael Mazzarra). Joined by a cast of improv actors, they proceed to spoof the absurdities of e-business like a tounge-in-cheek version of the documentary Startup.com. Filmed on-location in an office building where an actual Internet company went out of buisness. Also starring Jamie McMillian, Mathew O'Neil, and Katherine Ripley.
