My friend Sona Jain's debut feature, For Real, sneak previews in NYC on Sunday Nov 15, 2009 at Noon at the Quad Cinemas. Its playing as part of the MIAAC film festival.

The official world premiere is later in the month at the International Film Festival of India in Goa.

The film tells the story of a child’s determination to keep her family together, when the all-powerful adults are intent on destroying it. Six-year old Shruti knows something no one else does. An alien has come in place of her mother and her real mother has been sent to the Orion Galaxy. While the alien looks just like her mother on the outside, Shruti knows she is completely different from her beloved mother on the inside. Shruti turns to her brother for help but he doesn't believe her. Her father, like always, remains wrapped in work and unavailable to her. Unable to accept the Alien in her home and desperate to be with her mother, the lonely child runs away. What follows is a child’s passage to finding her real mother, a man’s struggle to save his family and a woman’s journey to finding herself. Also with Zoya Hassan, Adil Hussain, Sameer Dharmadhikari Sriharsh Sharma Churai. Sarita Choudhury and Sona Jain in person.
