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. *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. See the trailer at www.tomsphone.com *Rating:* R *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.

Pierre and Patrick will be available for Q&A at the screening. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
