Freestyle Digital Media, the recently acquired Digital Film Distribution division of Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios has acquired the North American rights to the highly anticipated romantic comedy DO OVER. The film, directed by Ryan Francis, stars Drew Seeley, Jonathan Bennett, Zack Lively, Amy Paffrath, and Gina Field. DO OVER debuts on VOD through Freestyle Digital Media on Oct 11, 2016 with select theatrical showings to follow
DO OVER hilariously asks the following question — what if you could go back and try that ‘first time’ again? When Sean King (Drew Seeley) moves his successful internet startup back home to Los Angeles, he quickly reunites with his lifelong friends – the kind of friends that know all his secrets. Hanging out with his brother Ryan (Zack Lively), best friend Anthony (Jonathan Bennett), and buddy Angela (Amy Paffrath), Sean and the boys each brag about how great they performed when they lost their virginity years earlier. As the only female in the group, Angela says their recollections of sexual prowess may not be exactly the same as what their first-time lovers remember. In fact, Angela implies that each of her buddies was probably lousy in bed that first time. In what she thinks is a hilarious challenge, Angela tells the guys to use social media to find their “firsts” and arrange for a “do over” so they can finally get it right. When chaos ensues, Angela relishes the drama she created until the big secret of her first time is questioned. Is a re-booty call even possible?
“Who wouldn’t want the chance to get things right the second time?” said Chris Charalambous, Head of Acquisitions for Freestyle Digital Media. “DO OVER is a farcical reminder that memory can be deceiving!”
“I’m so excited and grateful to be working with Freestyle, and looking forward to starting a DO OVER revolution,” said DO OVER Producer/Writer/Actress Gina Field. “Who hasn’t thought about whatever happened to their first and if they’d want to do that over again? With social media at our fingertips it’s easier than ever to track down anyone you want. So let’s go for it people! Or at least curl up on the couch with some takeout and DO OVER for a fun date night.”
The deal was secured between Chris Charalambous on behalf of Freestyle Digital Media and Lon Haber, CEO of Lon Haber & Co and Chairman of IPPR and producer Gina Field on behalf of DO OVER.
