Small Talk (2016)

SMALL TALK is a short, character-driven, fantastical, comedy that follows Ahmad, deemed as a typical Middle Eastern man, on a trip down the rabbit hole where he battles his soon to be in-laws inability to focus on any one issue of concern due to the rate at which society now takes in information. An exploration into our newfound ineptitude as humans to focus our efforts on any one topic of concern, due to the rates at which we now take in information. The script centers on a bizarre surreal dinner party that runs the full gamut of emotions. Its a non stop roller coaster in a never before seen Wonderland of ill-informed opinions on everything from sports to terrorism all while highlighting the many faces African Americans wear due to how intricately racism has been designed.
