Leave Them Laughing: Official film website

 

ltl_carla.jpg

Ninety riveting minutes of songs about life, and quips about death, from the wheelchair of a woman who vows to exit the stage with a smile on her beautiful face.

Once a nationally-known performer of ballads, skits and self-parody, now fated by Lou Gehrig’s Disease to perish within months, the remarkable Carla Zilbersmith was diagnosed in 2007 and given less than four years to live.

On stage in actual and dramatized flashbacks to her giddy days as a comedienne and chanteuse, and on camera in the unashamed current reality of her condition, “Leave ‘Em Laughing” tells Carla’s own glad, sad story in her own voice through diary entries, travelogues, interviews and skits. Films of her last brave travels to Australia, Britain and Mexico demonstrate the ferocity of her intention to suck the last molecules of pleasure from her life.

Directed by Academy Award-winning director John Zaritsky.

Eighteen year old Lila Ross is so shy she can barely speak to anyone except her best friend Yasmin. But when a baby lemur she adores is sold  to a nasty animal testing lab, Lila must overcome her fears in order to save Louie's life.

Along the way she faces harassment from a womanizing boss who has made a cruel bet at Lila's expense.

And to make things worse, Lila's coworkers misjudge and abuse her. It seems nearly impossible she can overcome the odds but Lila has a secret weapon that only she has the power to use.

What is it and how does she use it to do "one good deed" that can save a piece of our world?
