I worked on this film in the fall of 1998 when I was doing acting in NY. It was shot in NJ at an actual high school, and the main actors were wonderful. The lead actress really is named Maryam, and her performance is so much more relevant today than 5 years ago...this should really be re-released and get some attention again, it kind of slipped under the radar the first time around.
