He makes lofty demands to his assistant, burdening her with meal requests, a drug clean-up, and outlandish PR requests. Ironically, Parker has just scored an acting gig as the character, “The Manipulator.”īy the first minute, Klone positions Parker as the dominating, yet somehow hilariously irritating, antagonist. He feels justified in his mistreatment and emotional abuse of his assistant, Emilee. Emilee has no choice but to submit to her superior, in the fear of disappointing her boss, spoiling her career, and even worse, of getting caught.Īt its core, BAD ASSISTANT is a satirical jab at the culture of celebrity power, and a social commentary on the parasitic nature between people in power and their subordinates.Įven though Parker is a seemingly lazy, unaccomplished actor, his obsession with clout and fame has grandly inflated his ego and ballooned his sense of entitlement.
#Trailer the perfect assistant professional
Parker uses Emilee’s professional (and emotional) subservience to coerce her into transporting the body to another location to absolve him from any crime. During her daily house-calls, Emilee stumbles upon Parker’s friend, whom she realizes has overdosed and died in her boss’s home.
Paige Klone, writer and actress (and real-world past assistant to her co-star Jason Schwartzman), plays the role of Emilee, an overworked assistant – or better said, a babysitter – to a degenerate wannabe-actor, Parker (played by Jason Schwartzman). Part-comedy, part-melodrama, BAD ASSISTANT centers on an overburdened celebrity assistant (Paige Klone) who finds redemption after her boss (Jason Schwartzman) manipulates her into an illicit situation.
