FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FEBRUARY 8, 2024
Eager to share with you the #romantic #dramedy BEN AND SUZANNE, A REUNION IN 4 PARTS, set to hold its world premiere in Narrative Feature Competition at #SXSW in #Austin, #Texas on March 11th, 2024.
The first narrative feature film by a Sri Lankan director to premiere in the United States, BEN AND SUZANNE, A REUNION IN 4 PARTS is a project 15 years in the making from writer, director, producer, and composer Shaun Seneviratne.
Filmed on location in Sri Lanka, the film stars #SathyaSridharan and #AnastasiaOlowin in a romantic reunion turned unconventional adventure in a hilarious yet amorous journey across the country. Seneviratne's debut feature film is a continuation of his decade-long collaboration with Sridharan and Olowin, who have inhabited the roles of Ben Santhanaraj and Suzanne Hopper in three short films exploring the nuances of their raw, complex—and highly relatable—romance.
Ben Santhanaraj journeys to #SriLanka to rekindle his relationship with Suzanne Hopper, an American NGO worker, after a long separation. But when Suzanne's boss demands she work during their vacation, their love is tested by a dilemma: desire versus duty. As Suzanne struggles with the responsibilities of her job, Ben tries everything to revive their intimacy, leading to candid conversations and chaotic twists as New Year’s Eve (and Ben’s departure) looms ahead.
