DATE : March 3rd, 2009 TIME : 6:30 PM ROOM : 6-120 Synopsis: A lost cell phone entangles three unsuspecting individuals in a bizarre love triangle in this sexually-charged comedy, set against an extravagant backdrop of New York nightlife. RATED: R (Due to Sexual Explicit) Tom's Phone is the first feature film by Lebanese director Pierre Abs and producer Patrick Zeitouni. The film was independently financed and is one of the feature length movies to be shot entirely in HD-Video. Tom's Phone has been submitted to several U.S. and international film festivals, and is expected to go into theatrical distribution in Summer 2009. About the filmmakers: Pierre and Patrick both discovered their passion for film during the Lebanese Civil War, and Tom's Phone marks the culmination of that passions after their collaboration on several shorts and documentaries. In 2008 they co-founded Filthy Martini Films as the vehicle for future movie productions. Patrick is also a 2nd year MBA at MIT Sloan. Pierre and Patrick will be available for Q&A at the screening.
