FILMMAKER TO VISIT THE CEDAR LEE THEATRE
(Cleveland, OH) – Writer/Director Jay Jonroy will be participating in
post-film Q&A’s in support of his new film, David & Layla. The film opens
Friday September 14, 2007 at the Cedar Lee Theatre located at 2163 Lee Rd.,
Cleveland Hts., OH 44118.
Mr. Jonroy will be appearing after the 4:00 PM, 7:00 PM and 9:45 PM shows on
Friday, September 14th and Saturday, September 15th. Admission is $8.25 for
Adults and $5.75 for Seniors.
A dual American and British citizen, multi-lingual Jay Jonroy now lives and
works in New York and Paris. He is fluent in English, French and Kurdish,
and speaks or understands conversational Persian, Arabic and Portuguese.
Made stateless and in exile since he was a teenager, Mr. Jonroy had two
members of his family - a younger brother and a brother-in-law - go missing
in his native Iraq. Later, their remains were found in Ba'athists and
Saddam's mass graves. Jay was obliged to abandon his film projects
unfinished for about ten years to help his family escape Saddam's genocidal
campaigns against Kurds. Some of those horrors are reflected in his first
feature film David & Layla (2006).
David & Layla is a spicy romantic comedy about the sparks that fly when a
Jew and a Muslim fall in love in New York. David, a TV host of "Sex &
Happiness", becomes smitten with the voluptuous Layla- a mysterious, sensual
dancer. Layla turns out to be a Muslim refugee. Teased by specious tips from
his ironic French cameraman, David madly pursues Layla. This sets off a
playful veiling and unveiling of the similarities, and contrasts, of their
ancient cultures. David's lust grows into love as he discovers in stunning
Layla, a sensitive, intelligent, war survivor with an ancient rich culture
that echoes his own. Their families, however, are dead set against this
unlikely romance. Faced with deportation, Layla must choose: Muslim American
Dr. Ahmad or Jewish American David? Will David and Layla follow their hearts
to blast through centuries of religious animosity?

Mr. Jonroy has limited availability for in-person interviews for television
and radio on Thursday, September 13th and Friday, September 14th. Please
