Last year’s festival favorite is now set for wider exposure.
Brainstorm Media has announced that it has picked up NEW LIFE, the feature debut of writer/director John Rosman, for theatrical release this spring. The film stars Sonya Walger, Hayley Erin, Tony Amendola, Nick George and Ayanna Berkshire; according to the official synopsis, “The film follows the story of a mysterious woman on the run [Erin] and the resourceful fixer assigned to bring her in [Walger]. As their two stories inexorably link, the stakes of their pursuit rise to apocalyptic proportions.” It has won raves (including ours) from its premiere at last year’s Fantasia and other festivals.
“NEW LIFE is an impressive debut from John Rosman that will captivate audiences in unexpected ways,” says Brainstorm’s Michelle Shwarzstein. “It is not often we see a film in the genre reveal such depth and complexity. We are honored and excited to present this very special film.”
“From our first conversation,” Rosman says, “Brainstorm has been exceptionally collaborative and creative. I feel lucky that our project landed a team who believes that the things which make NEW LIFE different–are the things that make it special. I couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with Brainstorm to bring NEW LIFE to theaters and into people’s homes this spring.” Stay tuned for more details on the release.
