Filmed in New York by Filipino-American writer-director Aliwalas, Disoriented has become an audience favorite in festivals around America. Pre-Med student West struggles to obtain a clear view of his aspirations while his brother and girlfriend negotiate serious identity issues of their own further complicated by a controlling Catholic mother and long lost father. Disoriented turns multi-culturalism on its head and inverts the American Dream. Yet DisorientedŐs disarming warmth translates beyond specific demographics to universal appeal and appreciation. Aliwalas delivers a wistful comedy that unravels with excellent timing. Directed by and starring Francisco Aliwalas. With Potri Ranka Manis.
