Synopsis
Two strangers find themselves trapped in a thirty-year-old elevator over a long weekend. Both of these ordinary people begin to dig deeper into the extraordinary events of each of their lives as the weekend unfolds.
Andrew Matthew Jones (Jason Carter), 30, wants to make his mark as an actor. In a last ditch attempt to put the pieces of his shattered life together, he is only one floor away from meeting his birth mother.
Ruth Edna Hoffman (Caryl McKay), 65, is a cynical, uptight castaway going nowhere fast. Troubled by a barrage of family tragedies, Ruth has one simple mission left - taking her husband out of her will.
While today's society showcases serial killers on the covers of glossy magazines and television talk shows, Famous Dead People goes beyond the headlines, and explores the complex lives of Ruth and Andrew through the eyes of a surveillance camera, capturing the truth they have been seeking for many years.
