THE WAITING ROOM
Made as part of the Crazy 8's experiment, this haunting eight-minute short in black and white follows a dying teen girl's last days in the "waiting room" --the critical care unit of Sick Kids' Hospital -- as she tries to get a letter to her estranged mother before she dies. Based on a short story from Nichole McGill's book 13 Cautionary Tales. Crazy
8s is sponsored by the Directors Guild of Canada, BC District
Council and the Alibi Room, in association with the Union of
BC Performers and Voyager. Five directors, including Penelope
Buitenhuis were challenged to prepare, shoot and edit a short
film on digital in 8 days with only $800. The film made its debut
at the 2001 Montreal World Film Festival.
