Meet the Patels is a documentary written and directed by Geeta V. Patel and Ravi V. Patel. The real-life romantic comedy premiered at the Hot Docs Film Festival this year and was a Top Ten Audience Favourite.

MEET THE PATELS is a laugh-out-loud real life romantic comedy about Ravi Patel, an almost-30-year-old Indian-American who enters a love triangle between the woman of his dreams … and his parents. Filmed by Ravi’s sister in what started as a family vacation video, this hilarious and heartbreaking film reveals how love is a family affair.

“We made this film about family because there are not enough films out there about this amazing and challenging experience we all share,” explains Geeta. “We made this film about relationships because having a great one with your brother, parents, kids, friends — it’s the most important thing in life!”

“We all want to give love, be loved, and remain in love,” adds Ravi. “This film is also about transcending the lines of race and color and culture in all our relationships — something this country seems to slowly be learning. However, this film takes it to audiences through the most intimate and telling test in all our lives: who we choose to love and bring into our families.”

Meet the Patels is rated PG.
