Ahead of Sara Zandieh's feature directorial debut, the Iranian-American director shares how 'A Simple Wedding' celebrates multiculturalism and feminism while also breaking down stereotypes
, a new Iranian-American romantic comedy by Sara Zandieh, that captures the film's spirit.
Throughout the film, we see love story after love story unfold — new love budding between Nousha and Alex, love found later in life by Nousha's uncle Saman and Maggie, love built over time in the arranged marriage of Ziba with Reza , as well as the love that comes from blending families. As to why she went the rom-com route, Zandieh explained her film was initially a family dramedy but she turned to rom-com to best portray her colorful characters. "Humor was the art of survival in my family. It got us through war, immigration, language barriers, and social exclusion," she noted.
The film was produced by Mainstay Entertainment and made its world premiere at the LA Film Festival in 2018. Blue Fox Entertainment secured domestic distribution and worldwide rights to the film last February. "I worked with them and I did a ton of rewriting for them, especially for Houshang, the father. We collaborated and he was like, 'I feel like my character would want to do this.' I rewrote a lot for the parents. I rewrote a lot for Nousha. Up until I was shooting, I was rewriting honestly. I wanted it to feel as natural and as grounded as possible."
