This Canadian short film shows the lengths that Pria (Natasha Chandel), a 15-year-old South Asian girl goes to in an effort to lose her accent, mainly by mimicking lines from favorite movies. She does this because she fancies a boy she sees every week at a local coffee shop, and she’s convinced he’ll run away if he hears how she speaks.
But she may be in for a suprise…
Funniest line from the movie, son replies to father who wonders what the daughter is up to: “She wants to talk like a man.”

This film was screened Friday November 3rd, 2006 at the Indo-American Arts Council’s sixth film festival.

Hey Filmiholic!!
I appreciate your review…and thanks for putting up the link so others can view it. I hope they enjoy it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make the screenings in NY but it looked like so much fun! Just to add, PRIA was selected in the Top 7 at NBC Diversity’s Comedy Short Cuts, won their first Online Audience Choice Award and is their Top Rated film on http://www.dotcomedy.com. Very happy to be getting a good South Asian story out there, and humbled by everyone’s support. Thank you!! Love and God bless always.
