Haiku Tunnel defies comparison. A workplace comedy unlike Office Space, based on a dramatic monologue yet nothing like the work of Spalding Gray, and featuring a neurotic lead but completely different from What About Bob. What Haiku Tunnel is is a deeply funny film about anxiety, work, love, and 17 very important letters that absolutely must go out right away (you’ll understand when you watch the movie). IU Cinema’s Assistant Director of Cinema Technology Seth Mutchler says, “Just trust me!” [88 min; comedy; English]

“No Japanese poetry or actual tunnels were used in the making of this film, [just] some pretty clever writing and directing.” — Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com
“An over-the-top, yet dead-on, office comedy that rings true even when it's the most exaggerated.” — Steve Rhodes, Internet Reviews
“Kornbluth, with his softly discombobulated rage, makes you want to see more of him.” — Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
