Positives: The script was actually pretty funny! When I first figured out what was going on, I was worried some of the jokes would get too corny, but a lot of them were pretty clever and very entertaining! Also, your use of repetition with the stapler was great, and you were smart about creating humor visually, instead of just relying on dialogue. The pacing of the humor was really strong. This was both through the actors performances, as well as some of the shot selection. For example, having the back and forth quick dialogue could be pretty funny, but then cutting away to the fairly empty and stable frame with the cameraman looking awkward was such a great juxtaposition and it worked really well.

Improvements: Be a little more precise with some of your cuts - there were some jump cuts here and there that ended up being distracting. Your audio could have been mixed a bit better. Overall, the levels were pretty solid, but there were moments where it was obvious that one of the actors was further away from the mic because their voice was much softer and was less clear.
