Winner - BEST FEATURE - 2008 Broad Humor Film Festival
"This manic Bollywood-style romp from the 60's era of free love to contemporary pseudo-spiritual philosophy is big-screen farce full of fun!" - 2008 Broad Humor Festival
“Farce is a genre where, if you do it right, your movie ebbs and flows comfortably between the ridiculous and the outrageous. And farce in full force is what you will get with the comedy feature Creating Karma. The montage cross dissolving motif employed in the film serves well to toy with time and add a healthy touch of the dreamscape surreal. Jill Wisoff and Carol Lee Sirugo are co-writers and co-stars in this “boobs to the wall” comedy with Wisoff also tackling director duties."-LA Splash
“With the rancid taste of the unmitigated comedy disaster that was "The Love Guru" still fresh in viewer's mouths, it's a brave person (or in this case, two) that would bring campy sitar players and kooky New Age therapy back to the big screen so soon. A directorial bow for musician and composer Jill Wisoff, this quirky comedy finds a well-to-do fashion magazine editor (co-writer Carol Lee Sirugo) undergoing a radical transformation into a poet when she moves in with her hippie half-sister (Wisoff).” - Neil Pedly, ifctv.com
Karma, uptight fashion editor, becomes a poet after losing her job and moving in with her wacky new-age therapist sister in this first time feature by Jill Wisoff. While the film gives a nod to the sixties Peter Sellers screwball farces “The Party” and “I love you Alice B. Toklas”, it's to be enjoyed for its corny borscht belt humor and New York locales familiar in the works of Mel Brooks and Woody Allen.
Creating Karma is a truly indie film with a screenplay by and co-starring Jill Wisoff and Carol Lee Sirugo, a cast of over one hundred including top billed dancing diva co-star of "Saturday Night Fever" fame Karen Lynn Gorney, esteemed character actor Joe Grifasi and talented newcomers. Catchy songs by Jill Wisoff ("Welcome to the Dollhouse" songs/score, co-star in Todd Solondz's "Fear, Anxiety & Depression") and music by Joel Diamond (Sundance Winner “The Believer”, “Milarepa”). Winner of two best comedy feature awards including the 2008 Best Feature Award at the Broad Humor Film Festival. Comedy
