NEQUA Studios is set to launch its feature film, Promise Land, directed by Kevin Dalvi.
Promise Land will open Friday, April 20, with a red-carpet premiere at AMC River East 21, 322 E. Illinois St. There will also be an after-party at NV Penthouse Lounge, 116 W. Hubbard St.
The film is a light comedy and drama, with immigration as the central theme. Its three stories intertwine in a tale of love, conflict and hope. Based on true stories, Promise Land provides a unique perspective of the South Asian experience in the United States, and an alternative view of the immigration issues faced by millions today.
A profile of out actress Mirza—who played a lesbian in the locally produced movie Jamie and Jessie Are Not Together—is in the March 7 issue of Windy City Times.
