PERMITZ
"A Comedy about an Island Permit Board"
filmed on Cape Cod
Main Feature: Friends
(This Season's Second Film Showing to the Public, plus two additional shorter films will be screened)
A local man applies for a permit to open a coffee shop. The permitz board tries to relate what it would be like to have a coffee shop like the one on the Friends TV Show.
A long five days ago in a resort sadly not that far away...
It is a period of economic unrest, rising real estate costs, unemployment, higher taxes, and of course, post-partum depression. The few "haves" have set their fiscal sights upon the quaint isle of Massapermit, and only a few were fortunate enough to have settled the land...thanks to a few choice handouts. Golf course developers, strip mall visionaries, and taco bell franchisees have all fought their battles to cater to a local populace hungry for leisure, both high brow and low. Yes! They have battled; but alas, the island's ultimate defense force was not to be taken lightly. This weapon was known among the feared locals as, "PERMITZ," a hardened permitting board with more than just a chip on their collective shoulder...they simply don't like to share!Starring local talent including: Paul Hebert of Centerville, Denise Demelo of Mashpee, Steve Martin of Yarmouth, and Gail Campanelli of Bass River. Creator/producer: Mike Aucoin.
