Persian American actress "Shiva Rose (Layla) excels as a self-reliant damsel in distress worth rooting for." VARIETY. (On Sat., Nov 11th at big Gala Ceremony in Florida, Shiva Rose will personally receive “Best Breakthrough Actress” Award for her first lead role in David & Layla at 21st FLIFF- Ft. Lauderdale Int’l Film Festival. Opening night was Almodovar’s VOLVER. Closing nights Friday and Award Ceremony nights - Nov 10th & 11th- are David & Layla screenings.)
At Stockholm's 17th Int'l Film Fest, Director will introduce the film competing in ‘American Independents’ section. DAVID & LAYLA is unique by being Official Selections not only at regular film festivals, but also at 'Political/Human Rights' film fests, and at 'Love/Romantic' film fests. 18 Official Selections, 2 Wins. See at www.NewrozFilms.com. 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. "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.
DAVID & LAYLA is in "American Independent Competition" with ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ and other notalbe independents that were at Sundance NY and Tonronto fests by major filmmakers such as Richard Linklater Kevin Smith…etc featuring such stars as Nick Nolte Wynona Ryder Keanu Reeves Robert Downy Jr. Woody Harrelson Winona Ryder Ben Affleck…

Though Layla is a Kurdish 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 from Sulaymani to Stokcholm. The film uses humor romance and sensuality as playful veils to highlight and celebrate the history and the glorious diversity of culture music food and art of the Middle East.
