Ben and Suzanne, A Reunion in 4 Parts Video Filmmaker Q+A for the Fall 2024 New Jersey Film Festival!

Here is the New Jersey Film Festival Fall 2024 Video Filmmaker Q+A with Ben and Suzanne Director Shaun Seneviratne, Lead Actor Anastasia Olowin, Festival Judge Anran Li, and Festival Director Al Nigrin:



In Shaun Seneviratne’s Ben and Suzanne, A Reunion in 4 Parts, Ben Santhanaraj journeys to Sri Lanka to rekindle his relationship with Suzanne Hopper, an American NGO worker, after a long separation. But when Suzanne's boss demands she work during their vacation, their love is tested by a dilemma: desire versus duty. As Suzanne struggles with the responsibilities of her job, Ben tries everything to revive their intimacy, leading to candid conversations and chaotic twists as New Year’s Eve - and Ben’s departure - looms ahead.
