LOGLINE FOR “WAITING FOR CLEO”
During a chance encounter at a Tuesday matinee, two women confront their seemingly insurmountable generational gap.
BEVERLY (LEAD): Woman, 50+, All Ethnicities
Beverly is confident, independent, soft-spoken, and standoffish. She has been “doing her own thing” for a while and is most comfortable by herself. She loves art of all kinds and frequently goes to weekday matinees at a nearby indie movie theater.
BECCA (LEAD): Woman, 20s, All Ethnicities
An attractive, outgoing young woman in her 20s, Becca has a strong sense of self. She has promised herself to never moderate her strong personality just to make others more comfortable. She was recently fired from her job for speaking her mind about her work conditions, and she has escaped into the closest movie theater to take her mind off it.
