    I have a tip for you. You will see Gehad Darwish in this film, the pretty girl with pigtails getting all the screen time. Gehad was in the film Through Doors, directed by Garreth Manwaring, and she played Francie in the play Dead End Kids (she won the Michael Harms Award in New York for her performance). Gehad is someone to watch this year in Hollywood.
