Abroad (2018) - Dramatic SHORT
Directed by Zayn Alexander Written by pascale seigneurie
Logline
After a self-tape audition, Jad and Rania find themselves casting each other in different roles than they had expected.
Synopsis
Jad and Rania, a Lebanese couple living in New York City, struggle to achieve their shared dream of breaking into the acting industry due, in part, to the typecasting of Middle-Eastern actors. The combined pressures of juggling multiple day jobs and living so far from home begin to eat away at Jad, while Rania relishes the struggle. These differences are brought to light on the day that Jad proposes to Rania, and their relationship is put to a test as it becomes clear that their time abroad has left them yearning for different things.
