Arian Moayed & Lee Sunday Evans Talk "The Courtroom" for Tribeca Film Festival 2022

Screen Speck presents a special interview with the director of "The Courtroom", Lee Sunday Evans, and writer, Arian Moayed interviewed by Farah Sadek. Following its Tribeca Film Festival 2022 premiere, Farah sat down with both and chatted about their latest project.

In this powerful drama from director Lee Sunday Evans and writer (and Succession breakout star and Emmy-nominee) Arian Moayed, the legal thriller is given a bold and innovative new twist. Adapted verbatim from court transcripts, The Courtroom follows the harrowing journey of Elizabeth Keathley (Kristin Villanueva) a Filipina immigrant who mistakenly registers to vote while on a K3 visa, a crime punishable by deportation. Married with a newborn baby, Elizabeth, with the support of her husband and the tireless efforts of their lawyer, struggles to navigate an increasingly convoluted and nightmarish legal system.
