The crowd at Meacham Auditorium was treated to an international musical with a heart, in last nights showing of "Half Empty".

Robert Peters, born in Tulsa Oklahoma, graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Oklahoma, and was proud to be showing his film to Sooners. The film follows it's lead, Bob Patterson, from the neurotic boardrooms (and bedroom) of Los Angeles, to a Germany where his gushy American "can-do" isms, fall flat. Greta, his tough as nails book-tour guide, leads him through Europe and helps Bob get in touch with his dark side. Hilarity ensues as Bob questions his love for "happiness", with memorable musical numbers such as "If You See Kay" - a men's restroom ode to being scorned, (phonetic double-entendre intended).Bob's American girlfriend Adele (played by stunning fellow filmmaker Adele Uddo) is a gal who just can't let go of her man, and flies to Germany to tell him so! American icons such as Halle Berry and Halliburton are sent up in a banging punk rock anthem against American greed.
