Editorial Review:
In this "hilarious, smart, and touching" (GETTYSBURG TIMES) film festival favorite, three stories intertwine on Pennsylvania's Route 30. Sensitive Civil War tour guide, Mandy, works to get past her obsession with Jennie Wade, the only civilian killed in the Battle of Gettysburg, while her friend, June, tries convincing her husband to launch an internet porn site. A newcomer to the area, Bill (David DeLuise, TV's Wizards of Waverly Place), finds inspiration in his tours with Mandy and his cursing, beer-slugging Amish neighbor, Martha (Dana Delany, TV's Desperate Housewives); and three local men desperately try to prove their sighting of a hoofed Bigfoot.

Route 30 Reviews:
Well done, Mr. Putch. 
2009-12-12 - Funny! Highly recommend it to anyone who grew up in the area of Caledonia and the Totem Pole Playhouse and took the obligatory family trips to the Battlefield.
Route 30 - Best independent movie this year!
2009-11-03 - We showed Route 30 on a big screen at our house for friends last week, and everyone screamed with laughter! It's funny, smart, and completely heart-warming. It gives you a local-flavor of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania that has very little to do with the Civil War, and all to do with people arguing about getting shot in the but. Dana Delaney (Desperate Housewives, China Beach) stars as a cigarette-weilding, beer drinking Amish woman and David DeLuise (Wizards of Waverly Place) plays her "supplier." Curtis Armstrong (Booger from Revenge of the Nerds) and Kevin Rahm (Desperate Housewives) play deer hunters who refuse to shoot deer, except with a camera, and eventually stumble into Big Foot! The film also features Lee Wilkof, who played Seymour in the original Off-Broadway production of "Little Shop of Horrors," and Natalie Boltt, who was in this summer's "District 9."
If you want to see a non-Hollywood, totally original movie, buy this one. It's amazing.
HILARIOUS, SMART AND TOUCHING
2009-11-03 - ...a satisfying cinematic banquet - Harrisburg Patriot news.
Route 30 offers a hilarious take on local life - Gettysburg Times
Dana Delany is funny and heartwarming - Film Threat
Three interconnecting stories from the Lincoln Highway in South Central Pennsylvania.
`Deer Hunters Wives' tells of the frustrations of Civil War tour guide Mandy (NATHALIE BOLTT), who obsesses on Jennie Wade, the only civilian killed at the battle of Gettysburg. While her friend June (CHRISTINE ELISE McCARTHY) struggles with an internet porn scheme to make extra money.
`What I Blieve' focuses on a man (KEVIN RAHM) who seeks the help of a Christian Scientist (WIL LOVE) to heal his back pain and explain the Big Foot that chased him down the mountainside.
`Original Bill' is the story of a writer (DAVID DeLUISE) who buys a farmhouse in the country hoping to find unique inspiration to write his novel. He is sidetracked by his Amish neighbor (DANA DELANY), who smokes, drinks, swears and secretly watches his TV.
