Very Big Shot

Q&A filmmaker Mir-Jean Bou Chaaya

Q&A filmmaker Mir-Jean Bou Chaaya (via Skype) with series programmer Lina Matta

In this boldly comic film from Lebanon, brothers running a small but lucrative drug dealing business out of their takeout pizzeria in one of Beirut’s working class districts are looking to go straight. But they’re coerced by their crooked boss into a very dangerous last score. And then events take a turn into, of all things, the film business, and the production of an all-too-real fake movie. A smartly made, engaging, and thought-provoking debut feature.
