In the trailer for Cinema Six, a young employee describes a movie as “kinda like a combination of My Dog Skip and Precious.” So if we describe Cinema Six as a combination of Office Space, Clerks, and Superbad, that sounds downright reasonable.

It’s a comedy about movie theatres and co-workers and relationship drama wrapped up in a wealth of one-liners, but more importantly, it’s showing tonight in a movie theatre.

Cinema Six is a locally shot outfit by indie comedy duo Mark Potts and Cole Selix that stars such Austin favorites as John Merriman, Byron Brown, and Chris Doubek.

Now that’s a bunch of co-workers.

Check out the trailer below (note: some content NSFW), then check out the full film tonight at the Stateside Independent screening.
