by Ishikaa Kothari

Anger Issues Title Image

After finding out that John Cena is coming to Connecticut, Rekha embarks on a road trip to WrestleMania with her WWE-obsessed grandmother (Nani Ma) to meet Nani Ma’s favorite wrestler. Through this journey, they finally open up about their experiences with domestic violence and mental illness, reclaiming power through intergenerational love, honest conversations, and unexpectedly beating people up— John Cena-style.

We will be shooting in New Haven, CT from March 20th to March 25th (this is still tentative, and we are open to shifting dates according to your schedule if absolutely necessary). Auditions will be held January 20th-25th. Please make sure to choose of of these slides for your character and self-tape your audition by January 25th if you are not auditioning in person! You can submit these self-tapes via Backstage or angerissuesfilm@gmail.com. We are also looking for Crew and Extras!
