Sean
McNutt is losing his mind. Customer complaints, fifty cent tips, raw
chicken parmigiana and Mafioso management are gnawing away at what sanity
he has left. Welcome to the world of Waiting, a comedy about the seamy
underbelly of the restaurant industry as told through the eyes of Sean
McNutt (Love God's Will Keenan), a waiter trying to muster the ambition
to move on in life. Recently dumped and still living at home, Sean drinks
himself into oblivion each night until an impulsive visit to a fetish
club to see an old flame ("The State's Kern Kenney) results in an ejection
from the club and a taste of leather clad justice. This is the last
straw, and Sean soon embarks on a campaign of romantic retaliation.
Including cameos by former adult film star Ron Jeremy (Orgazmo) and
Troma topper Lloyd Kaufman, Waiting takes you into the heart of South
Philly' s most notorious eatery, Broccoletti's Italian Bistro--where
what goes on behind the kitchen doors is better left unknown...
