The Dinner Party 

In Tehran, a perfectionist mother has planned the perfect engagement dinner party for her daughter. But when the cake is held up in the traffic of a political protest, her meticulous party begins to unravel. The film takes place entirely in the kitchen with the women, behind the scenes of the party, as their pleasantries and "tarofs" slowly crumble. Within this domestic microcosm, the power shifts begin to strangely echo those of the outside world.

Let’s Hope Disney’s “Hercules” Remake isn’t Another “Aladdin”

March 30, 2021

Disney’s remake library is about to get just a little bit bigger with the news of a live-action remake of their 1997 animated hit, Hercules. Hercules and Aladdin just so happen to be two of the most well-received movies from the 1990s’ Disney Studios renaissance. 2019’s Aladdin was a disappointing remake. Though it did fine at the box office, it was panned by critics, received a 57% on Rotten Tomatoes (as opposed to the original’s 95%), and understandably stirred controversy online for not addressing the original film's harmful Arab representation. So if Disney wants to bypass another Aladdin situation, what are the pitfalls they can avoid with Hercules?

Short Film Review “Marque Dos” A quick, charmingly humorous, but dramatically potent view of holding fast to dual identities and embracing your heritage

Striving for validation. Let’s be frank….we ALL want to be successful. Whatever we put our efforts into, ideally it is to make it culminate in the best possible results across the board, especially when it comes to what career path we are pursuing. We WANT to excel, to shine, to advance, to be acknowledged. AND…let’s hope that we also wish to better everyone around us to boot. However, what occurs when those whom we initially put our trust in suddenly become a burden instead of a boon? Do we falter under the weight of rejection? Or STAND UP for WHO WE ARE?
