(Whatever Happened to) the Paperless Office


Click image to watch video

Directed and written by award winning documentary filmmaker David Barison, The Paperless Office is essentially a story of love, angst and paper.

It is set in an office within a "really big company" somewhere in Melbourne and traces the mental breakdown and subsequent mental collapse of a recently successful college graduate. Is the graduate's neurosis simply the result of an individual ill-equipped for life in the modern world, or is it symbolic of the modern world itself where neither technology nor humanity are the winner?

The Paperless Office stars each member of The Sailors: Viktor plays the graduate; Hector his secretary and love interest, Geronimo a nameless office worker; and Vernon - in an alluring performance - plays Laurie the psychopathic wag and where sanity is nothing but a pyrrhic office manager.

I Hate Myself is the new single and video clip from Viva La Beaver.
Edited by award winning editor Eliza Hiscox, I Hate Myself is essentially a story of personal angst within a autobiographical lyric. The author Hector describes the complexities of the modern world from the perspective of a minor inner-city celeb and in the process chillingly outlines the consequences of personal philosophical contradictions. View and listen with caution.
