Fox Searchlight orders Waitress
Word from Sundance is the final film that Adrienne Shelly wrote and directed, "Waitress" is being purchased for distribution by Fox Searchlight. The large money is a small consolation to Shelly's surviving family, friends, spouse and daughter, but this is at least something bright and hopeful following her tragic end. I'm still so bummed about what happened to her. But one can only imagine that she would be pleased to know that her work was being shared. She was gorgeous, intelligent, funny and fun and surely missed by those who knew her.
Her husband, Andrew Ostroy established the Adrienne Shelly Foundation, a non-profit organization that will award film school scholarships and grants to women filmmakers.
