Big News! Sara's (Sohail's sister's) short film "The Pool Party" was selected to be in the Tribeca film festival this year. She and her producer (boyfriend Davyde) went to Iran last year to film it and the result was beautiful, touching, and a huge success. We'd already seen it but it was much more powerful to see it in a theater and fun to hear strangers complimenting the film and talking about Sara around us. In addition, Sara's film was shown with other shorts directed by some big shots - Domenica Cameron-Scorsese (Martin Scorsese's daughter), Kirsten Dunst, and Max Hoffman (Dustin Hoffman's son). All of the directors participated in a Q&A after the films were shown and, of course, Sara was the best (not that we're biased...).

Lots of stars were around
Thanks to our connection to a filmmaker, we got to walk the red carpet as well (after the show...)

Yum! NY pizza.

That's so cool that you got to be there and see celebrities and so amazing that Sara is so young and already so accomplished. What a little tidbit for her to put on her resume! :) -Shirin

It was amazing indeed! Sara has a pretty solid resume already and I'm sure this accomplishment can't hurt.
AWESOME! I'm going to keep my ears open for a local showing... do you know if the film will be making rounds?
Micah - I'm not sure... I don't think so but I'll keep you posted if I'm wrong. Hope all's well with you!
That's sooo cool! I would love to meet Sara and see her film! :)
