        • The Big Story

          Joe & The Shawl is an adaptation of Deonna Kelli Sayed's story:

          "Contested Whiteness: True Tales of a White Muslim Woman"

           

          Joe Potay, an adorable tow truck driver really digs Kelli, a fellow North Carolinian, when he meets her as he changes her dead car battery.

           

          But Joe’s interest takes a sharp right turn when he learns that Kelli is a Muslim.

           

          Kelli finds herself stuck in Joe's tow truck cab as he reveals his ultra-conservative white nationalist ideas.

           

          Joe informs Kelli that she’s damned to hell,

          so Kelli insinuates she’s left him something special in his truck.

           

          Running time - 10:30 minutes

        • Writers & Director

          Deonna Kelli Sayed

          Writer

          Deonna Kelli Sayed is a recovering ghost hunter, an American Muslim, and an interfaith instigator. She is also an internationally published author and an award-winning podcaster. Deonna is the PEN America NC Piedmont representative. Once upon a time, she was the Festival Coordinator for Greensboro Bound: A Literary Festival. Now, she works for the North Carolina Writers’ Network, and serves as the Logistics Coordinator during the NC Folk Festival. Deonna also works for a French chef — because all writers need multiple side gigs. Sometimes, Deonna performs monologues and one-woman pieces. She is the doer of many things.

          Nicole Ballivian is a Sundance Screenwriter Fellow and director. Her screenplay, Sleeping on Stones, was selected for the Sundance-RAWI Screenwriters Lab.

        • CAST

          Jill Galbraith

          "KELLI RASHID"

          Jill Galbraith is a Los-Angeles based actor and writer. An alumnus of the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television, where she was a two-time winner of the Rod Steiger Award for Excellence in Acting, and in her sophomore year won the David Sedaris writing competition, Jill spends her days in hot pursuit of human connection, and a break.

           

          Hopefully, she will eventually find one or the other. A nihilistic optimist, Jill plans on making art, burning it to the ground, and roasting sweet potatoes above the ashes for the rest of her life.
