After winning Top 3 Best Film Festivals in Orlando in our 2013 Best of Orlando reader poll, the Global Peace Film Festival (View Films, View Schedule, Panel Discussions) is back September 17-22. We sent five questions to some of the Directors and Writers and will share their answers in the coming days leading up to the festival.
Film: Farah Goes Bang
Writers: Laura Goode & Meera Menon
Director: Meera Menon
Respondent: Laura Goode
Showing: Thursday Sept 19 @ 8pm, Rollins College Sun Trust Auditorium & Friday Sept 20 @ 7pm Winter Park Library
What's your film about in one sentence?
Farah Goes Bang follows three twentysomething women who hit the road to campaign for John Kerry in 2004, one of whom, the titular Farah, is trying to lose her long-lingering virginity.
Tell us one thing you know about Orlando that isn't theme park related?Virginia Woolf wrote it in 1928. Great effing book.
Name a website, not your own, where readers can read up on the topic/subject of your film.
Good question! I think nerve.com often features some of the best sex writing on the internet.
What's your favorite drink, alcoholic or not?
When I used to bartend, I created a signature drink called the Goode Night Kiss: Kahlua, vodka, and chocolate milk. It's also very tasty without the Kahlua and vodka.
Where is your film showing next and/or what is your next project?
We're taking Farah Goes Bang to a number of other festivals this fall, including Mill Valley, Hell's Half Mile, BendFilm, Twin Cities, Chicago South Asian, and more! Stay tuned at www.farahgoesbang.com for details.
