The Secret Friend is a 2010 comedy-drama film based on the 1997 short story of the same name by Brazilian writer João Silvério Trevisan.[1] The film, directed by Flavio Alves, features Viola Harris and Siobhan Fallon in the major roles.[2] The film differs substantially from the original short story, which initially created some tension between the writer and the director.[3] Filming took place in early 2009, mainly in Brooklyn, New York, and debuted at the 2010 Palm Springs International Film Festival,[4] where it was chosen as Best of the Fest.[5] The film centers around the character and life of Anna Marshall, a lonely, elderly widow living in a suburb of New York City, who develops a mysterious friendship with a silent caller.[6] Although a screenplay for a feature version of the short film was written, as of 2011, it has not been officially greenlit.[7]
