AMERICAN WAITRESS (with AMERICAN DREAM)

AMERICAN WAITRESS, new mexico is a documentary feature film that examines the lives, attitudes, perceptions and experiences of waitresses. But it is not just a film about waitresses. It is a film about life, about social structures, about human nature. The film reveals the human side of this service industry through interviews with waitresses, restaurant employees and customers and explores in-depth the personal lives of four of these waitresses. We go home with them and out with them-- to tattoo parlors, bars, motorcycle shops, mountaintops, welding classes and even hunting. American Waitress, new mexico uncovers a very human dimension to these individuals and by inference, to all those among us who while in uniform, practice the art of service with a smile. Will we ever perceive our friendly food server in the same way again? Not likely.

AMERICAN WAITRESS premiered at Taos Talking Picture Festival and was an official selection of The Santa Fe Film Festival, The Durango Film Festival, The Fort Lauderdale Film Festival, A Swedish Film Festival and an Archeological Film Festival in Mexico. It is being used in university and high school curriculums, and has been featured in interviews with THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, VARIETY, MARKEE MAGAZINE and many others.

AMERICAN WAITRESS had an 18-month run on THE SUNDANCE CHANNEL, a one-year run with RIALTO CHANNEL in New Zealand and has recently been purchased by THE DOCUMENTARY CHANNEL for a three-year run. AMERICAN WAITRESS has been signed to Cinetic Media in New York City for future distribution and can now be purchased at the Online Store at www.DocumentaryChannel.com.
