DAVID & LAYLA- a Political Romantic Comedy!
Persian actress "Shiva Rose (Layla) excels as a self-reliant damsel in distress worth rooting for." VARIETY. From an impossible romance, a hope (a fantasy!) for peace: David & Layla- a Jewish Muslim Romantic Comedy. Set in New York, inspired by a true story.
Hollywood star Shiva Rose and Director will be present for Q&A.
DAVID & LAYLA is distinguished by being invited not only by regular film festivals, but also by Political/Human Rights film fests, and by Love/Romantic film fests. 18 Official Selections, 2 Wins. See - Festival Status - at www.NewrozFilms.com.
"This new comedy about young loves and the large ethnic families (on both sides) that stand between them could have been just another My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but its originality and insight set it apart. This outright charmer by Jay Jonroy has the potential of being a broad crowd-pleaser, along the lines of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Only David and Layla is a superior variation on that film, with unexpected insights…” Joe Baltake.
Tkts $8 online at: www.FLIFF.com. Cinema Pardiso. Ft. Laurdale International Film Festival.
Though Layla is a Kurdish character- a war survivor/refugee - she symbolizes the grace & femininity of women from the Middle East and the Islamic world. Layla’s dilemma - striving to keep the best of her rich East’s culture while adapting and accepting the best of West’s culture and freedom - is shared by millions of Muslim women from Baghdad to Beirut... from Tehran to Los Angeles. The film uses humor, romance and sensuality as playful veils to highlight and celebrate the history, politics and the glorious diversity of culture, music, food and art of the Middle East.
