SYNOPSIS:“Bottom Line is a darkly comic satire
that addresses corruption in corporate America.
Chock-full of sword-wielding pirates, rapping
professors, and anthropomorphic animals,
Bottom Line follows two characters, a
businessman and his assistant, through a fast-
paced, media-crazed world as they frantically
search for the perfect employee. Difficulties
abound, however, as meddlesome executives,
inept scientists, and simple economics impede
their pursuit."
