My friend Francis has this to say about Arranged, a movie she's starring in:
ARRANGED opens December 14th at the QUAD CINEMA: 34 west 13th street between 5th and 6th avenues
I will be there for a Q&A on both Friday night and Saturday night. I think for the first showing of the evening only. I'll check up on that and follow up though. For those of you who haven't seen it, I would love it if you came out!!! If you can't make it on those nights, it's playing for 2 weeks. Please go!! We gotta pack the house for each showing to get a better and BIGGER distribution deal.
The plot is that two teachers - one Jewish, one Muslim, both orthodox - bond and become friends because both of them are nervously facing the prospect of arranged marriages. Francis is Jewish, but she plays the Muslim (she hid this fact from the director until the last filming day), which alone should be enough to earn her an Oscar nod... if people come see the movie! I liked it so much, I saw it twice, and you should too.
