This coming Friday Scoot McNairy will be appearing alongside Michael Fassbender in the delightfully quirky film Frank. You can look for our review of that film in the coming days. In the meantime you can watch McNairy in this short film from 2009. Shipping and Receiving focuses on Steve (McNairy), as an illustrator wasting his time managing a shipping department. He knows he should quit his job, but lacks the confidence to do it. Of course, a meeting with his boss regarding changes at the company may be just the push he needs.
