The ParkingLot Movie

This is a short documentary about working as a parking attendant at the Corner Parking Lot in Charlotte. Really this plays like a senior thesis film for a film student, or an artistic coming out party for a wanna-be film maker. That is, it is pretentious, unaware of that status, and self-satisfied with the finished product. It is a series of interviews with hipster-employees about what it means to be a parking lot attendant and the struggles of said employment (or more likely the struggles of said hipster status). I laughed at a couple situations, but mostly found myself wandering around the house waiting for the time to run out. Good thing it was short.
2 stars (out of 5)
