Silicon Valley's Martin Starr shines with newcomer Dinah Shihabi in an unconventional romance about a nation traumatized by war.
Sean Mullin's background as a filmmaker isn't unconventional at first glance: The director of Drafthouse Films' new romantic comedy Amira & Sam got his start doing improv and stand-up at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater in New York, working on screenplays and film projects on the side. But the other side of his background is what really informs his debut feature, which stars Martin Starr as Sam, a former Green Beret transitioning back to civilian life, and newcomer Dina Shihabi as Amira, an Iraqi immigrant living undocumented in New York.
