Oh yeah, Shari is not only a great talent but she also happens to be my cousin. I know what your thinking; I'm only posting this because we are related. No way, man! I'm doing it 'cause the movies a lotta fun and so that the next time she's casting, she'll give me a part!
C'mon, Shari! I'll carry a spear! I'll be a tree, a potted plant - you name it. All I need is that one big break! Lemme ride your coat tails, will ya, please? Oh! And most of all, congratulations!
PS Screening at Cinema Village, NYC, September 28-October 11, 2012
