The focus of the production company is to aquire lower budget films thereby allowing them to maintain creative control over the projects, states Palmer. This script is very similar to BIG CHILL and ANNIVERSARY PARTY.
It's story centers around bar owner, MURRAY, who decides to retire rather than giving in to smoking ordinances imposed on his venue and on the eve of his last night in business a blizzard strands 13 wacky people in the place. It's a great ensemble piece that is absolutely hysterical seventy minutes in and then becomes very poignant. People who come together don't leave together, a baby's born and someone dies. It has moments that will be remembered for a long time, states Palmer. We're very happy that writers, Beatty and Morris have trusted us with their project.
