Leave Of Absence

Running time: 71 mins

30 days to figure out the rest of his life. In a comedy where the mantra "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" plays true, the question is: Is it ever too late to "figure it all out"? Jason (Jason Thompson, General Hospital) is a thirty-something college graduate happily cohabitating with his girlfriend, but unhappily working as a waiter. When a doctor orders him to take a FMLA (Family Medical Leave of Absence) for thirty days, Jason finds himself with a newfound freedom - to slack. His loving and supportive girlfriend Heather (Heather Case Miller, American Pie: Band Camp) encourages him to find a new job but Jason instead lounges with his friends Acer and Clarke. As days tick by Jason must decide: what life does he want to live, and will Heather be there with him? - Terra Wood-Taylor Preceded by short: David Sedaris's The Learning Curve; dir.
