British actress Rebecca Hazlewood’s new film - Kissing Cousins - has started doing the festival rounds in Los Angeles. The former Crossroads star left for Los Angeles a few years ago and returns to London on occasion.

Kissing Cousins is produced by Amyn Kaderali and Manish Goyal. Both were behind Call Center, a short film that became very popular on the web.

Kissing Cousins played at the Asian Pacific Film Festival last week and is currently touring other film festivals in the United States.

The film revolves around Amir, 29, who works as a professional ‘relationship termination specialist’. In other words he provides a dumping services for disgruntled daters. During Thanksgiving he is reunited with Zara, his beautiful cousin from Britain who he has not seen in twenty years. When she meets his friends she surprises everyone, including Amir, by introducing herself as his ‘girlfriend’.

Before long she even shows him how to be more sympathetic to his ‘breakup victims’. An undercurrent of sexual tension develops between them as the charade comes dangerously close to going too far. Will his friends find out the truth?

Will Amir fall for his own cousin? Or will he become one of his own victims?
