Meital Cohen Navarro’s OVER MY DEAD BODY makes its L.A. debut at Dances With Films

Meital Cohen Navarro’s short film OVER MY DEAD BODY is mid way through its film festival run that began with a Jury Prize at the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival in March, and has included screenings at Iowa’s Julien Dubuque Film Festival, Canada’s Gimli Film Festival, and the Cordillera International Film Festival in Reno, Nevada.

However, L.A.’s Dances With Films festival was the first time the cast had joined director/screenwriter/producer Meital Cohen Navarro to see the film on the big screen in front of an audience.

And that audience turned out in a major way. Part of a very strong shorts program, OVER MY DEAD BODY played to a full (and very appreciative) house on Saturday, August 28, and then, following a Q&A with the other attending filmmakers, Navarro, her cast, and some 40-50 people who were there just to see her film enjoyed a champaign toast to celebrate what is legitimately an award-winning, critically acclaimed film.
