Still Waiting
Independent films are not always good, but often they grab a lot of attention.
There is one Independent that is grabbing attention as we speak , Still Waiting.
Still Waiting (2009), stars John Michael Higgins and Luis Guzman, and is the sequel to the first movie titled Waiting…..
Written by Rob McKittrick the movie is based around the staff at a fictional chain restaurant named Shenaniganz.
During the movie we see the misadventures and drama as the staff cope with the competition set by Ta-Tas Wing Sack a Hooters-esque type restaurant.
Justin Long starred in the first installment and said he was “truly embarrassed” to be involved with Still Waiting…. in Rolling Stone during an interview with Rob McKittrick.
It was released directly to DVD, while also having Adam Corolla appearing during the movie in an informational DVD in a cameo role.
It also stars Vanessa Legies as Natasha, Alanna Ubach as Naomi and Maggie Lawson as Allison.
The original Waiting (2005) was written as McKittrick was working as a waiter, the script initially being sold in a movie deal to Artisan Entertainment, but was finally released by Lions Gate Entertainment who purchased Artisan in 2003.
The film grosses over $6,000,000 (allegedly) in it’s opening weekend, more than twice the budget of the movie.
