Summary: SWIM LITTLE FISH SWIM co-directors/co-writers/co-producers Ruben Amar & Lola Bessis are the guests on this Filmwax Radio dispatch from SxSW.  The end track is "Tower on The Hill" by Toys and Tiny Instruments. SYNOPSIS: SWIM LITTLE FISH SWIM is a comedy-drama depicting three intertwined storylines. Maggie? Rainbow? Leeward and Mary cannot even agree on their three year old daughter’s name anymore. Mary is a hardworking nurse who dreams of only one thing : changing her life around. She resents her husband for being an irresponsible, overgrown adolescent incapable of holding down a job. Leeward is an atypical, idealistic musician who fancies himself a misunderstood artist and a New Age visionary. Enter Lilas, a 19 year old French artist and daughter of a world famous painter, who’s trying to make it in New York and get away from her overbearing mother. When the bubbly young woman moves into the couple’s tiny Chinatown apartment, their already fragile balance is upset even further.
