Storyline

'Deer Hunters' Wives' tells of the frustrations of Civil War tour guide Mandy, who obsesses on Jenny Wade, the only civilian killed at the battle of Gettysburg. While her friend June struggles with an Internet porn scheme to make extra money. 'What I Believe' focuses on a man who seeks the help of a Christian Scientist to heal his back pain and explain the Big Foot that chased him down the mountainside. 'Original Bill' is the story of a writer who buys a farmhouse in the country in hopes to find unique inspiration to write his novel. He is sidetracked by his Amish neighbor, who smokes, drinks, swears and watches his TV. Bill befriends her and helps her realize her dream of seeing a live play on stage.

User Reviews

Fun characters and an enjoyable ride...

This comedy screened at The Palm Springs International Film Festival to a very enthusiastic audience. Many of them had evidently become familiar with writer/director John Putch's other works, especially 2006's Mohave Phone Booth, which was a hit on the film festival circuit. This time John goes back to his roots, to an area in Pennsylvania,along Route 30 and close to Gettysburg. He has assembled a great troupe of actors for this trip, some of whom you TV watchers will recognize right away. Three semi autobiographical stories intermix here with good comedic results. If this film plays near you or you have the opportunity to watch it, you too will probably become one of John's fans.
