‘Choosing Signs’ Picks Aug. 14 for Digital Release
Filmed on location in Cork, Ireland, “Choosing Signs” is a multi award-winning comedy/drama about an American woman who follows the signs of the Universe all the way to Ireland, only to discover that when it comes to love, the Universe may not always be on her side.
The film premiered at Tribeca Cinemas NYC as an official selection of the Golden Egg Film Festival 2013, in which it won two awards including “Best Feature Film.” Its west coast premiere was at AOF International Film Festival 2013, in which it won “Best Foreign Feature” and “Best Sound Design”. It also won “Best Foreign Feature” and “Best Score/Soundtrack” at the Laughlin International Film Festival 2013. Other awards include “Best Actress” and “Best Supporting Actress”.
Fans of Silver Linings Playbook will recognize the quirky but ultimately heartfelt world these characters inhabit. There is, first and foremost, a love story, between a down-to-earth Irishman and an up-in-the-air American woman who makes life-choices by consulting the powers of the Universe. Eamon (Owen Dara) is all blarney and puppy-dog affability; Jennifer (Jessica Lancaster) is tightly wound. That is partly because of the other two males in her life: a brother with serious mental issues and a fiancé caught up in a mad scheme to provide low-cost immigrant housing. Eamon, for all his good cheer, turns out to be fighting his own demons. The final major character is an acerbic Russian housekeeper, played by the award-winning Betsy Douds. It is she who triggers the crisis that ultimately helps the others get their lives in order. This is a story about various kinds of failure to communicate, but there is hope for them all in the end. This award-winning Irish film is very sweet, endearing, and funny.”
The Random Media film will be available on iTunes, Amazon, GooglePlay and Vudu on August 14.
