New York (TADIAS) – Woven LLC is hosting a fundraiser in June 2011 for a feature length film entitled Woven, which is based on a fictional story that weaves together the lives of Ethiopian and American families. The independent film is written and produced by Ryan Spahn, Salome Mulugeta and Kristin Hanggi. Charles Shyer is the Executive Producer. Woven features multicultural characters who explore themes of forgiveness following a tragic accident that unravels family secrets, lies and deception. The film opens with a scene of a ferocious early morning thunderstorm and a deadly car crash involving one of the Ethiopian-American characters. The detective investigating the tragic accident soon discovers that this was no ordinary traffic incident.

The film’s co-writer and co-producer Salome Mulugeta says Woven is more than a mystery movie. “This is also a story about love, loss and forgiveness, it follows the Ethiopian family and their culture as an emigrant family living in America,” she says. “The accident brings two families that are from different parts of the world together to understand that they maybe different externally but the same internally.”

“We have an unequivocal belief in Woven — both its content, and its potential to appeal to a far-reaching audience,” the producers said via their website regarding the fund-raising effort. “We are acquiring all monies for the production of this film through private equity, and on selling the finished film to the highest bidding distributor.”

The event is scheduled for June 28, 2011 at Studio Twenty-One in Manhattan. It includes dinner catered by Spur Tree Restaurant as well as raffles and auctions.
