Tribeca Film Festival Questionnaire: We Ask, They Answer. #3: The Space Between

WE ASK THE ACTORS TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS…AND DRAW

Flight Attendant Montine McLeod (Academy Awarded nominated Melissa Leo) finds herself the unlikely guardian of Omar (Anthony Keyvan), a Pakistani boy who has left his New York home to attend boarding school in L.A. on scholarship. When their plane is grounded in Texas on the morning of September 11, 2001, Montine and Omar embark on a cross-country journey with the hopes that Omar and his father–a janitor at the World Trade Center–will be reunited. The Space Between is a compelling story not only of father and son, but of the potentially transformative power of strangers. The Space Between is a must-see Tribeca premiere, especially with the stellar cast featuring the always captivating Melissa Leo. Catch one of the final two performances: Wednesday April 28 and Friday April 30.
