THE ARRIVAL is a Tale of Boundaries, Identity, and the Human Spirit
Stonestreet Studios and Jamaad Pictures recently celebrated the world premiere of their latest feature film, THE ARRIVAL, at the Martha’s Vineyard Women in Film Festival on Sunday, October 15.
Outline: In the backdrop of a quiet afternoon at a popular Manhattan bar, THE ARRIVAL introduces an array of patrons, each wrestling with their own emotional, physical, or professional boundaries. The film takes viewers on a gripping journey as characters delve into the mysteries behind their own predicaments, urging them to ponder on their identities and future selves.
Director Alyssa Rallo Bennett on THE ARRIVAL
Director Alyssa Rallo Bennett shares her passion for the project, stating, "We all need an ‘arrival’ somewhere, somehow, away from something, or leading into something new. This film was a wonderful project that allowed its characters to grapple with that. Even on a modest COVID indie budget, directing this film felt like conducting an orchestra of fantastically stunningly different instruments both in front of and behind the camera."
