    • Trivia
      This film is inspired by a true love story. Married since 1990, the real David & Layla now live in Paris. They flew to New York to meet the cast and the crew during the production of this film. The real Layla designed Layla's wedding dress. She is the guest with green eyes and dark hair who is one of the Kurdish dancing women in bright golden orange gilet, during the wedding. Her husband, the real David, plays himself as the new vasectomy patient who answers to his real name, David Ruby, and gets the appointment with Dr. Jacobson.

    Cheers to Jay Jonroy!!!
    I truly enjoyed "David and Layla", not only for it's charm and wit, but because of the melange of characters and the cultural awareness their story provokes. As a contemporary love story, it is poignant and relative to the crises our world faces today. This film proves that, despite any cultural differences, true love can manifest into a peaceful union of two sides.

    The unique talents of David Moscow (David) and Shiva Rose (Layla) are outstanding, and I anticipate seeing them in other roles in the future. Director Jay Jonroy thoroughly explores every emotional aspect of love and war between two divided cultures. With success, he cleverly brings the two together. I hope everyone is fortunate to see this special film and appreciate it as much as I do.
