About Alphie

Our movie starts at the beginning of an overnight standoff between Alphonso Conte and Gus in a New York café. Gus, flown in from Chicago, on an anonymous job, awaits the order from the café payphone to kill Alphie or let him live. With nowhere to go and nothing to do, they are in a standoff that turns minutes to hours. As today becomes tomorrow, the two find themselves discussing life, society, food -- and a secret from their past that comes crashing down.

While we wait all night for the call, we are "entertained" by the Waiter on duty who feeds Gus and Alphie appetizers (and one-liners) ... we are treated to a reunion of Alphie and his ex, Brenda, in a (needless to say) uncomfortable meeting.

Then, an even more uncomfortable moment occurs when two police officers enter the café for a to-go order. Finally, in a dynamic on-screen moment a Robber enters the setting to bring the movie to a violent climax.

"Waiting on Alphie" documents what happens when two men face-off while fighting sleep and fighting to keep their patience ... with each other.

The story of Alphonso Conte is revealed in this new drama from White Lightning Productions. Why did Alphie leave Chicago? Why has Gus been sent to Buffalo on this contract? How does Brenda fit into all of this? "Waiting on Alphie" is one indie this year worth waiting for.
