Filmed on location in Cork, Ireland, "Choosing Signs" is a multi award-winning comedy/drama about an American woman who follows the signs of the Universe all the way to Ireland, only to discover that when it comes to love, the Universe may not always be on her side. The film premiered at Tribeca Cinemas NYC as an official selection of the Golden Egg Film Festival, in which it won Choosing Signstwo awards including "Best Feature Film.” Its west coast premiere was at AOF International Film Festival, in which it won “Best Foreign Feature” and “Best Sound Design”. It also won “Best Foreign Feature”, “Best Score/Soundtrack” and "Audience Favorite" at the Laughlin International Film Festival. Other awards include “Best Actress” and “Best Supporting Actress”.

"Fans of Silver Linings Playbook will recognize the quirky but ultimately heartfelt world these characters inhabit. There is, first and foremost, a love story, between a down-to-earth Irishman and an up-in-the-air American woman who makes life-choices by consulting the Choosing Signspowers of the Universe. Eamon is all blarney and puppy-dog affability; Jennifer is tightly wound. That is partly because of the other two males in her life: a brother with serious mental issues and a fiancé caught up in a mad scheme to provide low-cost immigrant housing. Eamon, for all his good cheer, turns out to be fighting his own demons. The final major character is an acerbic Russian housekeeper, played by the award-winning Betsy Douds. It is she who triggers the crisis that ultimately helps the others get their lives in order. This is a story about various kinds of failure to communicate, but there is hope for them all in the end. This award-winning Irish film is very sweet, endearing, and funny."
