The LayoverIdeas.com team has been planning a blog for some time now, so
we figured what better way to premiere the new LayoverIdeas Blog than by
blogging about last week's announcement of the WORLD PREMIERE of the new
LAYOVER film?!?!
Too cool for words... but we'll try.
The film's premise is that a young Parisian woman, Simone, is flying from Paris to
Singapore, with a connection in Los Angeles.
So far, so good, right?
Well, if you're reading this, you probably travel a fair bit, and know all
about flight delays, cancelled flights and unplanned layovers.

Simone finds herself at LAX on a layover. Soon,
a mysterious motorcyclist convinces Simone to ride along through the
glittering nightlife scene of LA. Sometimes the places you don’t plan
visiting are the best.
We're intrigued. How about you?
If you're thinking like we were when we first learned of the film, you're
wondering when you can see it, right?
Well, last week's big announcement is that Layover will have it's World
Premiere in competition at the 2014 Seattle International Film Festival
later this month.
Joshua Caldwell (
@Joshua_Caldwell), the film's Director, Executive Producer and all around
brainchild (what do you want to bet that the plot was cooked up on a
cocktail napkin on one too many airport layovers?), is from Seattle. Here's what he said when asked about the decision to premiere at SIFF:
"I was born and raised in Seattle. Travis (Oberlander), my producer, was as well. In fact, we met each other in elementary school. As such, SIFF felt like the perfect venue to World Premiere our film. We couldn't be more excited to be showing our debut feature film at our hometown film festival."

CONGRATULATIONS to Joshua and his Layover film team - thanks for giving us the
perfect excuse to kick off our new LayoverIdeas blog.
