Fortune House - Short film
by Karen Pecota

Directed by Matthew Bonifacio – in the short film selection at Tribeca Film Festival 2013
Screenwriter Bob Linton

An Asian mother wants her daughter to find a husband, marry and have children. The family business as Asian restaurateurs must be carried on to the next generation.

The mother observes a gentleman, who regularly eats at the restaurant, take notice of her daughter. It’s time for the mother to intervene since the daughter has not able to attract a male suitor.

The Asian mother wastes no time to plant subliminal messages in her home-made fortune cookies. If the man believes, her secret messages could bring the two single people together to live happily ever after.
