\"Christina<\/a>

Gina<\/strong> (Christina Rosato<\/a>) meets her friend Nikki<\/strong> (Emma Roberts<\/a>) in the romantic comedy LITTLE ITALY<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Christina Rosato<\/b><\/a> (Brent’s wife Brooklyn)<\/span> will be Diana Vega<\/b> in ARIEL: BACK TO BUENOS AIRES, the story of Davie and Diana, a brother and sister who return to Argentina (the country of their birth), learn to dance tango. In the process they learn much about the sordid secrets of both their family and their country. Writing for Talkhouse<\/a>, Rosato calls Diana Vega her “dream role”, and describes the Argentine tango as “a sort of shared meditation with a stranger to beautiful music, while keeping form in an abrazo.”<\/em> Tango world champion Alison Murray<\/a> wrote and directed ARIEL, which began production in Buenos Aires in 2019, was interrupted by the pandemic, and completed filming in Montevideo, Uruguay in 2021. The film can be streamed on TUBI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Kaniehtiio<\/a>

Kaniehtiio Horn<\/b><\/a> (Tara’s ghost)<\/span> is the blunt and sometimes judgemental artist Tess<\/b> in ALICE, DARLING, a thriller written by Alanna Francis<\/em> Alice (Anna Kendrick<\/a>) and her two best friends, Tess and Sophie<\/em> (Wummi Mosaku<\/a>), decide to spend a week together at a lakeside cabin, but Sophie and Tess have become concerned about Alice’s secretiveness regarding her boyfriend Simon (Charlie Carrick<\/a>), and the trip is really a cleverly disguised intervention. Then a local girl goes missing. Director Mary Nighy<\/a> told Annie Coalo of Women in Hollywood<\/a> that the film “…felt like an important story to tell right now, about the degree to which women can lose themselves in murky sexual relationships, without even realizing how far they\u2019ve lost their sense of self or their bearings. And I thought it could be a powerful paean to the value and redemptive qualities of friendship between women, in all their messy, sometimes rivalrous, sometimes sisterly, glory.”<\/em> ALICE, DARLING can be streamed on TUBI<\/a>.<\/p>\n
