OUTSOURCED

OUTSOURCED is a comedy of cross cultural differences with a touch of romance, focusing on the life of Todd Anderson, 32, (Josh Hamilton) who manages a customer call center in Seattle until he gets the bad news from his boss: his job has been outsourced. Adding insult to injury, he must go to India to train his own replacement. He expects the worst experience of his life, and it certainly begins that way. The chaos of Bombay assaults his senses, and his new office there is paralyzed by cultural misunderstandings. But as he gets to know his co-workers, Todd finds them disarming and thoroughly likable, including his friendly replacement Puro (Asif Basra), and the charming, opinionated Asha (Ayesha Dharker). He realizes that he has a lot to learn - about India, America and himself - and that being outsourced may be the best thing that ever happened to him.

Marking a brilliant first feature film directing effort from John Jeffcoat, OUTSOURCED is a Shadowcatcher Entertainment/Tom Gorai Production.

Running Time: 103 Minutes

Rated: PG-13 for some sexual content

Thouroughly enjoyed this movie. It reminded me or my trips to India. The cultural experience is dead on.

A really great look at life in India (I'll have to ask some Indian friends to see this one to let me know how authentic it is), hope it ends up in theaters soon so everyone can see it. Full of laughs, luckily everyone else was laughing as much as I was. I hope that John Jeffcoat enjoyed his evening with the Society as much as we enjoyed his film. Great way to start the season, keep it up Andy!
