“Losing Control” Philadelphia Screening
The Philadelphia Film Festival welcomed back Philadelphia native Valerie Weiss, writer and director of the romantic comedy “Losing Control.” The film was screened to a large crowd on October 22 at International House Philadelphia, which coincided with Weiss’s 20-year reunion from George Washington High School. Weiss invited all of her classmates to share the excitement.
“Losing Control” is loosely based off of events that occurred in Weiss’s life. It tells the story of a woman who is a young scientific genius, and strives not only to produce results from her long-term experiment, but also from her long-term boyfriend. This causes her to do everything she can to prove that her boyfriend is “the one,” as if he were a science experiment. “Losing Control” is a film with cast members that are witty and talented and deliver Weiss’s dialogue exquisitely.
After the film screening in which Weiss’s closest friends and family attended, the crowd headed over to a local restaurant for an after-party to celebrate her success.
Listen to Valerie Weiss being interviewed about her film on Z88.9 at Burlington County College.
