Pie in the Sky
Release: September 02, 1995

A Telluride Film Festival '95 selection, "This comedy chronicles the romantic exploits of a rather stodgy young man with a traffic fetish. Even as a child Charlie Dunlap was totally fixated by freeway traffic. Charlie's biggest idol is Alan Davenport, a radio traffic reporter. As a young man, Charlie falls in love with the lively, free-spirited Amy and they become lovers the night before she leaves for college. Their relationship disintegrates during her absence and Charlie ends up moving to LA to be near the great freeways. Even his rundown apartment overlooks the freeway. Single-minded Charlie is determined to get a job working for Alan Davenport, but his efforts to get hired at Metro Traffic are thwarted by an officious employee. He goes to a neighboring cafe and there discovers Amy working as a waitress. When not working, she performs with an experimental dance troupe that stages its productions at toxic-waste dump sites. Though he wants to start up their relationship again, she tells him she has found another. Charlie ends up having a passionate affair with his landlady. Later he meets Davenport and manages to achieve his dream and become his assistant. Through it all he still longs for Amy and in the end the two do indeed come together.” Sandra Brennan Josh Charles - Charlie Dunlap Anne Heche - Amy John Goodman - Alan Davenport Peter Riegert - Dad Dunlap Christine Ebersole - Mom Dunlap Christine Lahti - Ruby Kevin Scannell - Dr. Sherman Brent Spiner - Up-scale Guy Dey Young - Mrs. Tarnell Wil Wheaton - Jack Brian Davila - Jack (age 10) Bob Balaban - Paul Entamen Thomas Wagner - Ruby's Brother Jamie Marsh - Nigel Sidney Chankin - Funeral Guest Alfred Dennis - Ruby's Dad Carlease Burke - Traffic Reporter David Rasche - Amys Dad William Newman - Funeral Guest Gokul - Cabbie Peggy Miley - Rubys Mom Kathryn Grody - Amy's Mom
