Synopsis: Paul is a poor college student who gets a job as a dishwasher at a small diner named "Rosewood" to help pay his bills. However, to survive his first night on the job, he must contend with a hostile kitchen crew and learn what it really takes to work in the restaurant industry.

"Rosewood" is a short film that came out of a feature-length script I had written, also titled "Rosewood". It was shot at a real restaurant, also named "Rosewood", over nine days, and on a budget of about $200.
