About the film:
Janitors is a work comedy about a group of misfits who must band together as a team to prevent their slimy boss, Trent Gregory, outsourcing their jobs to cheap Mexican labour.
The movie features a cast & crew from across the Vancouver area, brought together by their passion & love for film, and the laugh out loud inspiring story of “Janitors”.
Janitors can only be described as a true 'underdog' story; reminding us to 'never judge a book by its cover'. The film is packed with highly eccentric, laughter inducing characters that we can all relate to.
Filming begins June 2nd 2013.
