NewFest is pleased to present a staged reading of the second winner of our 2008 NewDraft Screenplay Writing Competition: LOVE MARRIAGE, a new script by Soman Chainani, featuring Maulik Pancholy (30 Rock, Weeds), Nina Mehta, Brian Leider, Sakina Jaffrey, Sanjiv Jhaveri, Geeta Citygirl, Rajiv Varma, Sam Ghosh, Eliyas Quereshi and Margaret Champagne.  Winner of over 20 international script honors, LOVE MARRIAGE is an unabashed celebration of love that bridge East and West, inspires laughter and tears, and heralds the wedding film to end all wedding films.  Created by former Artistic Director Basil Tsiokos, NewDraft is NewFest's Screenplay Competition & Reading Series, dedicated to discovering and fostering LGBT feature screenwriters and/or LGBT feature screenplays.  LOVE MARRIAGE was one of the two winners of the inaugural competition at the 2008 festival.  Before NewDraft was formalized as a program, NewFest presented screenplay readings of ANOTHER GAY MOVIE, WERE THE WORLD MINE, and ANOTHER GAY SEQUEL, all of which went on to be made into films.
