WAITRESS: Keri Russell's Heartfelt Performance that Stole Sundance Hearts

Producer Michael Roiff takes us behind the scenes of beloved romantic-comedy, Waitress. What started as an underdog project skyrocketed to success, thanks to a mix of luck, timing, and the passionate champions who believed in it. Roiff shares how they met Keri Russell and instantly knew she was the right choice, even delaying production six months to ensure her availability. Waitress not only leaves behind a lasting legacy as a heartfelt and impactful film, but also serves as a tribute to late Director and Screenwriter Adrienne Shelly, who unexpectedly passed shortly before the movie's release.
