PORTLAND (AP) -- An independent film by Tony Shalhoub, a University of Southern Maine graduate who stars on the TV series "Monk," makes its Maine premiere Wednesday.

Shalhoub, who won a Golden Globe Award for playing an obsessive-compulsive detective on the USA network series, stars with his wife Brooke Adams in "Made-Up."

The couple now has the daunting task of promoting the movie and distributing it on their own. They will be on hand to answer audience questions at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. screenings at The Movies on Exchange Street in Portland.

Shalhoub starred on the NBC sitcoms "Wings" and his films include "Men in Black."

"Made-Up" is billed as a "mockumentary" in which the story is seen through the eyes of a character who's making a documentary for her video class.
