One woman’s secret to winning at life is to “act as if”, which transforms her from a feisty blue collar Boston kid into the championship basketball coach at Harvard where she masterminds one of the greatest victories of all time and overcomes cancer using the power of positive thinking. ACT AS IF is the story of Kathy Delaney-Smith, a diminutive jester-who-became-queen. “She’s from another planet. That woman, she’s wild,” says her assistant coach shaking her head, “She asked our Director of Operations if she ‘got any’ last weekend.” Kathy’s homegrown affability beguiles a 27-year reign as the winningest coach in the league and the biggest upset in men’s or women’s NCAA playoff history in 1998. She picked up the whistle forty years ago as a favor to a friend, clueless but determined to do a good job faking it just as Title IX passed.The mantra she lives by becomes the cornerstone of her coaching methodology. Like Kathy, the girls must never act tired, or hurt, or nervous—which is a particular challenge for her star player. ACT AS IF lays bare the contradictions between public and private selves and exposes the immense fragility of perfectionists. The film is not about patronizing whimsy, game winning shots, or “giving it your all” clichés. Instead, the curtain is pulled back to reveal an irreverent and accidental philosopher who teaches a tribe of women that the way to win—at everything—is by convincing your mind that you already have.

Ali, a spirited 8-year-old boy, lives in a detention center with his mother and little sister, Fatima. The grim reality of their life is taking its toll; Fatima just sits staring through the fence, and his mother’s only comfort is the small red jumper she knits over and over again. Ali tries to make the best of life - playing ball with the other kids and drawing pictures. His only distraction is the car that parks every day outside the fence – a family picking up one of the guards. A young girl peers out at him from the back window. One day, when the guards confiscate his mother’s precious knitting needles, Ali is forced to take action. After a failed attempt to replace the knitting needles with sharpened sticks, Ali realizes the girl on the other side of the fence may be able to help him. He draws her a message and throws it, wrapped around a ball, over the fence. The girl returns the next day and with a hop and a skip she hurls a new set of knitting needles over the fence. Ali can hardly believe his plan has worked and even little Fatima manages a smile. Ali and Fatima run as fast as they can to deliver the gift to their mother. But, just before they get there, a guard confiscates their mother’s remaining red yarn.

Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. A young Orthodox woman, ROCHEL MESHENBERG, is about to begin her first year as a special education teacher at the local public school. She is also about to embark on what her father and mother call the "most exciting time of her life" – the process of finding a husband via the time-tested method of using a "shadchen," or matchmaker. As the school year gets underway, Rochel meets NASIRA KHALDI, a Muslim woman of Syrian descent. Nasira is also a first-year teacher. The two young women – Rochel in long skirt and conservative blouse, Nasira in headscarf – stand out in this public school context. As the school year progresses, Rochel and Nasira realize they share much in common, not least of which is that they are both going through what the outside world would call "arranged marriages." Winner Best Film Brooklyn Int'l Film Festival Review by Jeff Farance: 4 ½ (of 5 stars) Cultures clash. Two women from contrasting ethnic backgrounds bond out of shared experience in "Arranged." Some real-life experience inspired the film about Rochel, an Orthodox Jew, and Nasira, a Muslim. Both are teachers at a Bronx grade school. Both are single. Both have parents who were born in their homelands and cling to the traditions of arranged marriages. And neither woman is especially excited about the process or prospects. So they have more in common with each other than they do with their colleagues or few friends. The film critically examines the roles of love and expectations in marriage, along with the difficulty of children following their own paths in contradiction to parental plans and beliefs. For so serious a subject, "Arranged" finds plenty worthy of smiling. And even more is worthy of careful consideration.
