Did I Say Thousand Island?
an Independent Film by Patti DiVitaEvery May 21 is National Waitstaff Day
Hi, I'm Patti DiVita. I'm a waitress, not a filmmaker. But I know I was called to make this movie. It's a romantic comedy, based on the incredible things I've seen in 30 years as a waitress.
I knew zippo zilch nothing about making a movie. So I read everything I could about how to make an independent film.
It was crazy. Everything about this movie just kept falling into place. I got actors and crew through word of mouth.
When I was writing, I felt like an antenna. The movie was already out there and I was the one who got to write it. I don’t care what you call it — synchronicity, the universe putting it in my way, for me it’s God. I'm not looking for world peace, but how about a little politeness?
SO, after three years, it's ready. You can download it, or buy a DVD.
“What DiVita’s homemade production lacks in Hollywood slickness, it makes up for in sincerity. An honest look into the world of six-tops and bad tips... A glimpse through the kitchen door.”
“That’s my life!” - Donna Prain, Administrator
“Did I Say I LOVED YOUR MOVIE!” - Dyan Carlson, Chef
“Make no mistake: this is an independent, low-budget film... but it has more heart and gusto than any big-budget mainstream film...”
- David Malsch, Founder, Black Point Film Festival
So enjoy the movie. If you have any questions or comments please send me an email.
