short film written and directed by Lily Mariye National Organization for Women
Filmmaker of the Year
“It’s an impressive directing debut for actress
Lily Mariye. Heartfelt and unusually sensitive to the heightened experience of
children, “The Shangri-la Cafe” is a strong showcase for Mariye’s directing talents.
It deserves to be expanded into a feature.” -Edward Guthmann, San Francisco
Chronicle "An extraordinary debut by a unique new voice in American
filmmaking." -Jonathan Kaplan, Director, The Accused, Over the Edge "...
Lily is a director with vision." -Anthony Edwards, Actor/Director "A
compelling and emotional story, superbly told, Lily Mariye has much to say and
this is a powerful beginning" -Lesli Linka Glatter, Director, The Proposition,
Now and Then, State of Emergency "A stirring evocation of a very
personal place and time, 'The Shangri-la Cafe' serves up a tender, bittersweet
childhood recollection of a not always glittering Las Vegas past."
