When Zoey meets Axel sparks—of the spiritual kind—fly.

ROMANTIC COMEDY FEATURE FILM

She throws Washington, DC’s flashiest galas. He prays all night, won’t shake her hand & rides a motorcycle from his “bad boy past.” When Zoey, a secular event planner reeling from her father’s death, collides with Axel, a newly devout Ultra Orthodox man, sparks fly in all the wrong (& right) places. Their unlikely romance weaves through high-society fundraisers, synagogue mean girl rivalries & a topsy-turvy Purim party that breaks all the rules. But as attraction deepens into something real, Zoey & Axel must decide if love can survive the thousand invisible lines drawn between their worlds.

I am seeking investors for the feature film. Contact jeryl@jerylparade.com for screenplay.
