Product Description

Punchcard Player is a thought-provoking dramatic comedy about an impressionable 23-year-old suburbanite named Tim Perroni who punches in and out of six jobs at the same time to survive a materialistic lifestyle. From time clock to time clock, Tim is a PUNCHCARD PLAYER.
Tim wants to be bigger and better than everyone else. He wants people to look up to him as many people including Tim look up to Tim s dad. He wants to have the hottest car, the nicest clothes, the newest technology, a girl that will one day be his wife... and, one day, the best job.
While working several little jobs simultaneously, Tim works toward finding a career that will support him and the dream family he wants to build with his girlfriend, Angela. Tim s Punchcard Player lifestyle leaves very little time to actually spend with Angela, or anyone for that matter.
Tim finally lands a full-time dream occupation, but on the first day, he gets fired for falling asleep on the job and lying to the boss.
Tim has no time to find another career. He has far too many overdue bills, including a school loan that he ll soon have to start paying.
As pressure builds to uphold his extravagant lifestyle, Tim takes several part-time jobs far worse than his initial punch-card positions. His lifestyle becomes one of survival, and Tim soon realizes that he s headed toward a miserable existence.

Editorial Reviews

Review
- Marisa Darnel and Mauricio Saravia of Artist Interviews Magazine said, "Punchcard Player" is an outstanding independent film...The film is not only hilarious, but it is an essential document that renders one of the characteristics of our society that could be very destructive: workaholism." --Artist Interviews Magazine

Review
- Anthony Ant of the "Anthony Ant and the Z List" celebrity entertainment podcast said, "'Punchcard Player' is one of the best independent films I've seen in a long time. The film has exactly what every overly produced, overly budgeted and under-acted Hollywood films are missing. . . A well-written, original script." --Anthony Ant and the Z List

Review
- Bonnie Steiger of the "Movie Close-Up" TV show said "Punchcard Player" is "moving, heartbreaking . . . I watch this film and I see that (the main character is) just disintegrating before our eyes. He starts out being such a cold, hard worker that we can feel nothing for him. But as he goes through this disintegration process, you just feel such sympathy for him." --Movie Close-Up
