This critically acclaimed release from Lulu Productions chronicles a bus ride that would permanently alter the life of Ronald (Jody Clark), a developmentally challenged young man who, after spending most of his existence in an institution, has decided to join his friend Edgar (Michael Luckerman) in a move towards personal independence. After collecting his bus fare and packing everything he owns into a small suitcase, Ronald boards the bus and sets off to find his new roommate. Things don't go as planned, however, when Edgar finds himself facing some serious problems of his own. Waiting for Ronald was directed by Ellen Gerstein and also features Patrick Cooper, Blair Williamson, Jo Jo, and Christopher Horvath.
