“A man at the end of his rope stops in at the Roosevelt Hotel bar in Hollywood for one last drink, where his chance encounter with a mysterious young woman puts him on the path that leads from despair to hope.”
ANATR was licensed to SHORTS TV and was seen in Europe and Africa for three years. That agreement is expired so I’m now free to share the film.
I wrote and directed this short inspired by the films of the 30′s and 40′s. ANATR stars William Mendieta and Hayden Wyatt.
We shot on 35mm film – just like the old days, overnight at the Continental Room in Fullerton, California. It amazes me, however, how many people watch the film and say that they have been in THAT BAR in the Roosevelt. I never correct them because I’m thrilled that they believe they were really there.
