Movie synopsis:
Have you ever lived in a resort town? Cathy and Meagan do, and they're always having fun in the mountains of Colorado. Rodeos, skiing, sheet pan surfing, camping, horseback riding... you name it. How can they always have so much fun? They work in the restaurant business! But it's not always fun and games. This is real life: people die in avalanche chutes, parents get sick and you move home, and sometimes you darn near slice off a finger cutting peppers for the nice and quiet lady on table 15. But not everyone at table 15 is nice or quiet.
Sometimes you want to smack 'em. Sometimes you bust a button
laughing with them. That's the business. Both waitresses are single, in their
thirties and have college degrees. But they differ in their views of their
chosen careers as well as their life situations. While Maegan's trying to catch
life's curve balls, Cathy's enjoying a smooth romance with the handsome
newcomer, but she gets nervous as things progress. Can this really work? We'll
see. From iced tea to Opus, we re-discover the true meaning of friendships
while celebrating the lives of restaurant people.
I have been on a mission to get the movie remade to use it for water awareness, but realize that I just can't make people care about water. Either they do or don't. So I am back to my original passion and that's the restaurant world. Restaurants, especially in any resort community are a great way to spend your time working and anyone who has done it for any length of time will agree.
After hearing time and time again that I need to remake the movie so more people can see it, I am back on the road to find the right people to remake it. Seeing as it's already been seen all over the world, it has an audience, and that would grow after people see the movie. How do I know this? Because if people are still telling their friends to watch it 10 years later, and it's a no-budget guerrilla shot film, then there must be something about it. These are some of the many comments I get in emails:
"It goes even further than restaurants: not living up to someone else's expectations for your life. It's about doing what you want to do and finding your own happiness."
"Thank you for an enjoyable evening last night and the warm, friendly feeling that lingers when I think about the film."
"... I think your movie is really about finding ways to love your life...finding the heart of whatever you are in, and getting it."
"James Cameron aside, Hollywood seems so afraid of risk these days, always looking to do something that has already proven itself and so we get Home Alone 4. At the same time we see the big stars producing their own films for greater control. I could see your movie being remade by producer / star Sandra Bullock with only a few million of her own dollars invested and being a box office success. If not Sandra Bullock, then one of about 30 other celebrity / actresses."
So I am back at the beginning again. It was impossible for one person to make a movie like this, but it happened. It's going to take a miracle to make it happen again. But... I have a great relationship with the One who makes miracles happen and I am never going to give up.
