Rubbernecking
(aka Accidents Don’t Happen)
Renee as Ashton
“Accidents Don’t Happen” is a dramatic comedy about diverse characters stuck in a major traffic jam.
A unique “Robert Altman-esque” ensemble film where everyone is on a different level in life with different agendas, but are experiencing the same feelings.
An unusual farce that makes light of traffic and how people react to it, allowing the viewer to realize that people really are all the same on the road of life.
The traffic jam is a symbol of the congestion in their lives. The characters have the time to reflect and contemplate where they’re going, at what speed, and what vehicle they’re using.
A single guy, KENT, talking into his cellular phone, spies a single girl, ASHTON, also on a cellular phone. Kent holds up a sign, giving her his phone number. She dials the cute stranger and a relationship begins.
