A man reflects on his childhood and
working at his dads garage during the late seventies. Two best friends
plan to
leave the small town they grew up in but leaving home isn't always that
easy. Matt; 18, works at
his dad's garage,smart, sensitive,
just graduated from high school. Schultz; 21,
works for his dad in construction, strong headed,high school dropout. For Matt it's getting out of the
garage and pursuing
his passion. For
Schultz, it's simply survival, to get away from his abusive
father. But leaving the
garage turns out to be more difficult than
Matt realized. Matt has a strong loyalty to his dad, despite his
father's
drinking problem, and he knows the impact leaving the garage will have.
Plus
Matt's just having met a girl who will rock his world. A devastating
incident
occurs and Matt will now have to find his true direction in life.
'The Garage' was written with
heart, passion and character. It
is a story that evokes thought, emotion and what it's like
to be 18. It's about
having your whole life in front of you, with
all your hopes and
dreams possible. It's about sometimes thinking only 'if
things had been
different'. When, in reality, they were just the way
they were supposed to be.
