Broadway’s Priscilla Lopez, Orfeh, and John Cariani Star in New Comedy Sleeping with the Fishes
Breaking Glass Pictures will be releasing Sleeping with the Fishes, a quirky romantic comedy about one girl’s journey of self-discovery and the dynamics of her zany Latino Jewish family on October 21, 2014. Starring Gina Rodriguez (Filly Brown, “Jane The Virgin”), Ana Ortiz (“Ugly Betty” “Devious Maids”)Tony Award winning actress Priscilla Lopez (“Pippin”, Original Broadway Cast “A Chorus Line”), Orfeh (“Legally Blonde: The Musical”), and John Cariani (“Fiddler on the Roof”), Sleeping with the Fishes is a comical story full of “ay dios mio” and “oy vey” moments.
Alexis Fish (Rodriguez) is left broke and broken-hearted after the death of her cheating husband, working as a phone sex operator and a walking meatball hero. As she returns to her hometown of Brooklyn for a distant Aunt’s funeral, she fears to admit to her family and overbearing mother (Lopez) that her life is a mess. With help from her quirky sister Kayla (Ortiz) and a new love interest, Alexis realizes she must let go of her past to define her own future.
Written and directed by Nicole Gomez Fisher, Sleeping with the Fishes marks Fisher’s directorial debut. Sleeping with the Fishes was filmed in just 19 days and premiered at the Brooklyn Film Festival where Fisher won Best New Director.
