Exporting Raymond
RAYMOND director Phil Rosenthal will participate in Q&A’s this weekend at the Monicas.
Exporting Raymond
Phil Rosenthal created one of the most successful sitcoms of all-time, “Everybody Loves Raymond.” He was a bona-fide expert in his craft. And then…. the Russians called.
In the hilarious EXPORTING RAYMOND, a genuine fish-out-of-water comedy that could only exist in real life, Rosenthal travels to Russia to help adapt his beloved sitcom for Russian television. The Russians don’t share his tastes. They don’t share his sense of humor. But what Rosenthal did discover was a real comedy, filled with unique characters and situations that have to be seen to be believed. An audience award winner at multiple film festivals across the country, EXPORTING RAYMOND proves that even if you’ve never seen “Everybody Loves Raymond”, you’ll still enjoy this wildly entertaining film.

‘Exporting’ delivers humor and emotion to a broader audience. When trying to take the lead in another culture, we're all fish out of water. (Matthew Sorrento, Film Threat)
