- This project is an original one-act comedy written for stage and produced as a film. The story is set in a City Council meeting in modern day Northeastern Pennsylvania full of bad behaviors, humorous interactions, and the hyperbole of chaos. Some of that comedy is delivered by a contingent of truck drivers, fulfilling their active citizenship duties to attend this public forum in-between hauls. The city's new Council president is the first woman to have the position, and is desperate for decorum in the presence of prospective investors, and discovers the tough lesson that hope is not a strategy. This independent film was filmed all in one day, with 16 hidden cameras running each from its own angle.—Michael Ignaffo
- Newly elected, Coalton's first female city council president is eager to reverse decades of recession in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Desperate for decorum in the presence of politicians, prospective investors, a provost, and the Mayor's representative, humor, rage, and bad behavior and prevail, with a profound insight delivered by an unlikely constituent. This film was captured all in one day, running as many as 16 cameras at once each from their own angle. Decisions were therefore deferred to the post-production process, after the cast members were able to return to their other projects, and the set was able to be cleaned out. Time, cost, and logistical efficiencies were profound, and this film is the result of a novel approach.
