Director Statement

This project is loosely based on my current marriage. I'm Muslim and my beautiful wife is Christian, and our families are hilarious. Her family is from Barbados and Brooklyn and I am from Queens but grew up in Las vegas Nevada. With all the disparities in cultures and religions, there are lot's of shenanigans that takes place in this film. Can their love for each other survive their love for family and religion? I think this is my best writing to date. I also have the feature for this film written already.
