Concept Reel for Waffle House Documentary

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses

Back in 2022 we created this concept reel as a pitch for a potential documentary film. While the film never took shape, this concept reel proved to be a precursor to the ideas that would eventually become The American Table.

The film was centered on drawing a comparison between the Statue of Liberty and the golden Waffle House sign as symbols of welcome and hope for the diverse, teaming, huddles masses of the American people.

With President Biden’s recent visit to a Waffle House after his debate with former president Donald Trump in Atlanta, it seemed like the perfect time to share this old concept from the archives with The American Table community!
