RONITA RAMBO
- Short Film (15min)
- Shoot Dates: Saturday July 26 & Sunday July 27
- Casting Lead and Supporting Roles filming in Springfield, Missouri
Synopsis: RONITA RAMBO is a romantic dramedy mixed with a late-in-life coming-of-age story. It centers around themes of family, chosen family, generational trauma, self-acceptance, addiction, and the queer South.
Ronita is a sharp-tongued, alcoholic waitress who works as the night manager of Dinky’s Diner, the hub of the film. She’s in her element here, serving the truckers, biker gangs, and bored teens of Reeds Spring, Missouri.
Ronita is trying to get sober so that her born-again daughter Rosalee will let her see her grandchildren again. Ronita recently started Alcoholics Anonymous, and has just met the bombastic, mischievous Mama Tweet, who she starts to fall for. Unmoored and unsure of what to do, Ronita approaches Alex Cunningham (17) - a Branson, Missouri local star, who has been going on secret dates with guys at Dinky’s. With his help during her Valentine’s night shift, she takes the terrifying step of asking Mama Tweet on a date - changing the course of her life.
The tone is warm, grounded, and wryly comedic - with a big heart and a celebratory ending.
This project is supported by the Missouri Film Office.
