A human resources professional has the assignment of teaching a timid new hire how to perform empathy. As she instructs him through a series of social behaviors a connection is formed between them. This film asks the question: can genuine connection happen within artificial circumstances? Human Resources was created as part of a filmmaking workshop program designed and produced by Lost Forty Studios. It was designed to give newer filmmakers hands-on production experience and was led by a seasoned, Minnesota-based production team. This program is a presentation of UMFO in partnership with Minnesota North, the IRRRB, and Advance MN.
