SYNOPSIS

A spinster who is waiting for a blind date keeps mistaking male patrons at a theater she is selling tickets for as her appointed date. She ends up running out into the rain after a man only to have the man disappear on her. When she returns to the theater, drenched, she finds her date waiting for her.

DIRECTING INTENTION

I'm sure there are people out there living out lives like Julia Roberts movies, but for the most part the reality never lives up to the myth. I chose a lackluster, ordinary spinster who dreams to represent ourselves, and an underground theater as a metaphor for our reality. The actors are amateurs, the lighting is as realistic as I could make it, and I hope the audience appreciates the roughness of the film, as I'm not in this business to give Julia Roberts her close-up.
