For interest, Laura Fitzgerald's website is www.laurafitzgerald.com And on it is this quote about the making of Veil of Roses:

"Bend It Like Beckham. My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Fools Rush In. Green Card. Spanglish. Delightful, heart-warming, cross-cultural romantic-comedy movies. And after each one, I'd turn to my husband and say, "There needs to be a movie like this about an Iranian woman." And he'd always say, "Get to it.""
