Parisian Waiters Dish Out Drama & Exploitation

Cornerstone has acquired the worldwide sales rights for the upcoming film 'A Waiter in Paris,' featuring stars Leo Woodall and Clémence Poésy. This project marks the directorial feature debut of Peter Hoar, known for his work on 'The Last of Us' and 'It's a Sin.'

The film, adapted from Edward Chisholm's memoir by Ben Hopkins, offers a glimpse into the lives of Parisian waiters. It portrays the glamorous allure of brasserie culture, including love, lust, and a sense of camaraderie among staff.

Beneath the dazzling exterior, however, the narrative delves into the harsh realities of exploitation and precarious employment. As staff tensions escalate, the glittering life of the protagonist begins to unravel.

Produced by Jason Solomons and Phin Glynn, 'A Waiter in Paris' is a collaborative effort, with BBC Film, Curzon, Cineart, and Madman providing key financing. The film is scheduled to be shot on location in Paris.
