Waterproof is a 2000 film written and directed by Barry Berman and starring Burt Reynolds, April Grace, Whitman Mayo and Orlando Jones.

The film follows Tyree Battle (Grace), who takes Eli Zeal (Reynolds) to her hometown to recover after he is shot in the arm during a robbery committed by her 11-year-old son.

Tyree Battle is single mother, a cab driver, living in Washington, D.C.. She is doing everything she can to keep body and soul together, primarily for the sake of her only son, 11-year-old Thaniel.

She drives all night to Waterproof, Louisiana, where her entire family — mother, two brothers, and 100-year-old grandfather — still live, and where Tyree has not been since she mysteriously ran away from home 15 years prior.

Filming took place in Wilmington, North Carolina, with 2nd unit photography in Tensas Parish, Louisiana, and Washington D.C., and was completed in 24 days, with cinematography done by Stephen Thompson, and a production team that included Roy Walker, Frank Capra Jr., Craig Fincannon and Jonathan Cornick.
