forgive my inelegance on the "artistically stunning" quip!

I love me a good bottle episode! Clip episodes not so much. The script I was pitching took place in a diner, there was the dining room and the kitchen and manager's office and the parking lot so it might have been a slight cheat but was certainly all in one location.

A while back, I was challenged by a producer with some real connections but had a specific need who asked, 'Do you have a script or creative idea that unfolds in a single place but is still creatively mind-blowing?' A movie in one location? Isn't that a play? Is that possible? I had a pretty...
