Melfi

Short film premiered at WB screening for NYFA. All in all a good plot, modern day Romeo and Juliet, set against the backdrop of civil unrest. The two main characters are prohibited from falling in love and as a result the solution of this star-crossed love is obvious. Strong performances by all the characters, Hemo played by Samantha Kelly especially worked to grasp the role and run with it. 22 minutes runtime, definitely worth a view and easily the best of the ten films previewed. kudos to director/producers Mr. Tareq Melfi, the film was based on real life events and only adds to the importance and shed light on modern day culture and the obstacles which lay front dead center.
