A quintet comprised of Lena Dunham, Hailey Benton Gates, Durga Chew-Bose, Siobhan Burke, and myself moderated the post-screening discussions for Celia Rowlson-Hall's American fairy tale Ma on its opening weekend in New York.
Ma stars Rowlson-Hall with a terrific speechless supporting cast including Andrew Pastides, Amy Seimetz, Jason Kittelberger, Neal Bledsoe, Matt Lauria, Kentucker Audley, Peter Vack, William Connell, George McArthur, and Bobbi Jene Smith. In the tradition of Claudette Colbert in Frank Capra's It Happened One Night or Uma Thurman thumbing a ride in Gus Van Sant's Even Cowgirls Get The Blues, a modern-day Virgin Mary hitchhikes across the Southwest, ultimately arriving in Las Vegas where she meets Nevada showgirls and a tiny singing Queen Victoria lookalike.
Celia Rowlson-Hall: "I really wanted to tell an American story.

Tell us in the comments. "Ma" Tweetable Logline: Ma is a modern day silent film about a virgin mother on a pilgrimage to Las Vegas to give birth to our savior. Elevator Pitch: Ma is a modern day silent film about a virgin mother on a pilgrimage to Las Vegas to give birth to our savior. That Person Says, Wait... It's Silent? Yes, there is a huge symbiotic connection between image and sound in this film. Everything from inside the womb is heard, creating a cavernous and disorienting environment. Once the baby is born, we experience sound as the baby does: piercing, loud and clear. I want the audience to hear again for the first time.
