Short Narrative Film. Dramedy.
WORLD
Rural Montana might as well be a different country from the rest of the United States. Patience is the religion here, courtesy the default, and politics can live far the f--- away.
THE CHARACTERS
COLBY JONES (the driver): 17 years, 11 months, 29 days of this…1 day until freedom. About to leave for college, Colby drives the rural bookmobile as her summer job to save enough money for the car she’ll get-the-hell-away in.
DEB JONES (the mom): Has a great old political button collection, she especially likes rocking the vintage Bush/Quayle. She runs the school board, PTA, the yearly kids clothing swap—even the Carter County read-a-thon and spelling bee every spring.
She’s very i-n-v-o-l-v-e-d.
THE BOOKMOBILE (the beast): Big, blue, and a beaut. 270k miles on the odometer don’t mean a thing to this ride, she’ll be running another 100k without skipping a beat. She’s a celebrity to the kids in middle-of-nowhere Montana and knows how to make a dramatic, dusty entrance.
