A well directed, well produced short. See it and vote for it. Doug uses friends, Romans and countrymen to give the real restaurant a lived in feeling. The child actor, Dakota Whidden, does a great job in playing good guy to the stressed, over worked waitress. Darcy Wright, the waitress, needs a little seasoning in really looking haggard and cynical. Perhaps a stripper should have been cast. The cinematography is decent for a no budget production and the make up is great. The movie can be seen on Frontier Airlines. Doug is the kind of director who will always bring a movie in under budget. His best work lays ahead, maybe a remake/full length of his classic on addiction, on drink. The only possible weakness of this film is that it doesn't raise the tension level quite enough. However, it holds up against other more well financed productions.
