Summer Program Screening: Everybody Wants To Be Italian

 

The School of Cinematic Arts Summer Program is pleased to present the romantic comedy Everybody Wants to Be Italian. Set in Boston’s North End, the film tells the tale of a lovelorn fishmonger who has spent nearly a decade trying to win back his ex-girlfriend only to get involved in a case of mistaken ethnicity. A Q&A with writer/director/producer Jason Todd Ipson will follow the screening.

Everybody Wants to be Italian

It’s been eight years since Jake’s girlfriend left him, and despite the fact that she’s now married with three children he refuses to move on. Fed up with their depressive pal’s unwillingness to let go of the past, Jake’s friends set him up on a blind date with a beautiful Italian woman from Boston’s North End. Though Jake is convinced that such a woman would never even consider dating a non-Italian, a quick crash course in how to fake it may prove just the trick to helping him learn to love once again.

Starring: Jay Jablonski, Cerina Vincent, John Kapelos, John Enos III, Richard Libertini, Marisa Petroro, PJ Marino, Judith Scarpone, Dan Cortese, Tammy Pescatelli, Perry Anzilotti and Anthony Russell.

Audience members will have the chance to ask questions of Ipson, who was a general surgery resident in Boston training to be a plastic surgeon before resigning to attend the SCA Peter Stark Producing Program.

Note: The USC School of Cinematic Arts Summer Program screenings are open to the general public, however, seating priority will be given to students enrolled in the Summer Program.
