The Off Hours

The Off Hours is an American film written and directed by Seattle filmmaker Megan Griffiths. The fulllength feature film is akin to real life events that happened at a truck stop. It was distinguished due to its adoption of environmental and socially acceptable settings, which has won recognition by the Sustainable Style Foundation with a SSF Tag award. The film was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah on January 22, 2011.

Griffiths, the films writer and director, was inspired to begin writing this story after spending several months working the night shift at a film lab in 2003. Griffiths has worked on set in many capacities, from producer to cinematographer to assistant director. She noticed that those employees who worked the night shift seemed to have similar personality traits. The script thus evolved from her interest in the night shift culture. Fund raising for the film began in 2007.The film was shot in Seattle in Burien, South Park and Georgetown with many local enthusiasts supporting Griffiths. ........
