Irene Barnett, lead actor, co-director/co-writer, WELCOME TO SERENDIPITY.
An "A-Type" business woman, Maya (Irene Barnett) hitchhikes her way to a ghost town in Death Valley after a fatal car crash, and grows more impatient by the day as the repair of her VW Bug drags on. During this forced vacation she gets to know the town's few inhabitants, mostly childless women (like herself), a desk clerk Lori who believes in ghosts, and a seemingly incompetent fixit-man named Robbie (Barry Green). Eventually the desert slows down her pace, lures her to the point where she decides to make a major change in her life, and stay on for eternity.
A collaborative feature co-written/co-directed by Irene Barnett, Robert Black, Morgan Schmidt-Feng, Karen Gloyd, Barry Green, and Rick Schmidt. Produced by Morgan Schmidt-Feng, Karen Gloyd, Barry Green, and Rick Schmidt. Director of Photography Morgan Schmidt-Feng <https://filmsight.com/>.
