Sarita Choudhury (MISSISSIPPI MASALA, LADY IN THE WATER) stars as a by-the-numbers lawyer attempting to keep the peace between the father (John Lordan,THE COMPANY, THE STRAIGHT STORY, THE NEGOTIATOR), brother (Luke Rosen), and husband (Sean Hayden) of a idealized woman too...dead to defend herself.
The script for LADY IN A BOX won the AIVF-BVR GET IT MADE PACKAGE as publicized in The Independent magazine in January-February 2006.The film also features the international ambient dance hit Sweet Lassi Dub by The Bhutan Philarmonic.
“The roving digital camera of cinematographer Peter Olsen is crucial to the joke: Much of the comedy rides on reaction shots that capture the couple's faces frozen in every imaginable variation of mortified and abashed.” – Jan Stuart, NEWSDAY
“[Pak is] an uncannily assured visual storyteller, and his crew – particularly cinematographer Peter Olsen…matches his creative fervor. The result is a quietly impassioned, genuinely stirring indie rarity.” – Mark Holcomb, THE VILLAGE VOICE
“Robot Stories, shot on DV, was lensed by Peter Olsen with a conscious design adapted to what digital can do best... The end result is quite impressive.” – Ronnie Scheib, DAILY VARIETY
