DRUMROLL PLEASE...announcing our Opening Night Feature Film: Same Same But Different, a comedy by filmmaker Lauren Noll.
Here’s the plot: An Iranian immigrant agrees to marry her boss’s son to stay in the U.S., but their simple green card wedding on Cape Cod gets complicated when her two Iranian best friends arrive with their own American boyfriends and cross-cultural baggage in tow.
But why did we select this for our TRIFF26 feature? Dreaming big dreams with your partner is something we can all relate to. The struggles...the fun...the journey is sometimes even more powerful than the destination. PLUS, we’ve got some amazing connections to these filmmakers that we’ll be sharing with you soon!
Don’t miss out. Tryon Theatre. October 9th. 7pm. Reserve your seat now before it’s too late!
