Chicago actor in film 'Signature Move'
Chicago-based actor and comedian Fawzia co-wrote and stars in Signature Move, a feature film co-produced by Full Spectrum Features NFP and Newcity's Chicago Film Project that will be featured at Tribeca's "TFI Network" April 19-20.
Signature Move is a romantic comedy and a coming-of-age feature film, centered on a Pakistani-Muslim woman named Zaynab who falls in love with Alma—a smart, bold Mexican woman with whom Zaynab connects through culture, food and wrestling.
Signature Move is a featured project on Indiegogo, where it currently seeks $30,000 to assist with production costs. Contribute to the campaign at igg.me/at/signaturemove/x/8014511.
