As struggling Jazz Musicians, Dez Delmonico and his trio knew they would have to start at the bottom. But, being booked to play the men’s bathroom of Ricky’s Jazz Club might have been one of the strangest back channels to fame the jazz world had ever seen! Munson, Ricky’s greedy, exploitative owner, promised Dez’s Band the world, but what he really offered was a dark, stinky crap-hole with leaky pipes for a stage. What should the guys do? Do they forget appearances, ignore the noble jazz traditions of Duke Ellington and Count Basie only to hold their noses and pull up a stall? …What would Miles or Trane do? …Well, one thing for sure…if an ambitious jazz band goes and makes a deal with the devil in the bathroom, they better make him wash his hands first!

Film Festivals:





Johnson Wood believes that oatmeal is not just for breakfast anymore.
So, despite skepticism of friends and family, Johnson launches “Oatmelios,” a restaurant proudly serving oatmeal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Fussy foodies be damned!

Aided by his brilliant chef, Buzzy, and spurred on by his new Shrink/girlfriend, Vajuna, Johnson creates a menu to set the NY Chelsea dining scene aflame!  Glowing reviews follow. He is hailed as the next Wolfgang Puck.

Alas, in life, as in any good bowl of oatmeal, there are always some lumps along the way…Johnson’s success leads to competition and copycats. Soon, his whole neighborhood morphs into one big collection of eateries vying for control.  Everything comes to a boil when Johnson finds himself challenged to an oatmeal duel-to-the-death by the only chef with the skillet skills to match him, Ron Breakfastino.

Adversity tests the true measure of a man. When challenged, will Johnson rise to the occasion, spoon-swinging?…will he falter.. when he stares down at the bottom of the “oatmeal bowl of life,” will emptiness stare back or will he  dig down deep and somehow find the “Grit” to survive?
