10 Items or Less is an intimately-scaled, two-character comedy in which Freeman plays a major movie star whose pickiness with his projects accounts for a lengthy absence from the screen.
While considering a role as a supermarket manager, he decides to do some field research at a small ethnic market on the very outskirts of Los Angeles. Finding himself stranded with no cell phone or transportation, he meets Vega, the feisty cashier who mans the store's express register. When she offers to drive him back to "civilization," this initially mismatched pair discovers common ground, with the star realizing that his love for people is what drew him to acting in the first place, and the cashier gaining the confidence to interview - or as he terms it, to "audition" - for a job that could change her life.
10 Items or Less is produced by Silberling, Lori McCreary and Julie Lynn, executive produced by Freeman, and co-produced by Kelly Thomas, with cinematography by Phedon Papmichael, editing by Michael Kahn, production design by Denise Pizzini, costume design by Isis Mussenden, and original music by Antonio Pinto. The film is a joint production between Silberling's Reveal Entertainment and Revelations Entertainment.
