A NEW LIFE, a film by Choice Skinner premiering August 11, 2023

Filmmaker Choice Skinner on-set of his new romantic dramedy A NEW LIFE

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — New romantic dramedy feature film, A NEW LIFE, premieres a moving story of family, love, and new beginnings with its North American TVOD release today, August 11, 2023, on Amazon Prime, and all major digital platforms.

A NEW LIFE comes from award-winning filmmaker Choice Skinner (Wingman Inc., Black Lightning Tobias’ Revenge) and follows Ronald Ferguson, a devoted father who reluctantly enters back into the dating scene with the help of his young daughter, Briana. It’s been six years since the untimely passing of his wife Stephanie, when a parent-teacher meeting at his daughter’s school introduces Ronald to Serena, an enchanting teacher who captivates him instantly. Despite their strong attraction towards each other, Ronald struggles with severe emotional barriers due to the loss of Stephanie, making it difficult for him to open himself up to Serena and new love.

The film stars Chris Rouse (The Wrong Valentine) as Ronald and Daffany McGaray Clark (John Henry, Fosters) as Stephanie, along with key roles from Kyndra Mack (A Rose In Concrete), Danny Joo (All American), Danny Royce (NCIS), Joan Moten (Maggie) and Kailah Ami, making her acting debut alongside NFL star Josh Butler.

Looking to tell a story showcasing Black men through another lens, Skinner explains “Black men are multi-faceted and so much more than what is often shown in current media. I hope this film will entertain audiences, but also help change the narrative by offering a different perspective of black men today.”

Skinner wrote, directed, edited and produced the project under his Darkan Entertainment banner, which he formed in 2010, an independent film and media production company dedicated to creating high-quality film, television, and media content with a strong focus on redemptive and empowering themes, expressly related to the Black community.

A Brooklyn native, Skinner first gained attention as a filmmaker for his award-winning dramatic short Brotherly Love, followed by winning Octavia Spencer’s Facebook Short Film Competition with his short A Second Thought. He went on to direct his first full length feature film, Wingman, Inc., teaming with writer-producer Tony Germinario.

Skinner began his entertainment career as an actor and has amassed numerous credits including the TV shows All American, The District, How I Met Your Mother, The Shield, and Lost, as well as the films Killjoy 2 Delierance From Evil, Black Magic, Cryptz, Transylmania, and Free Samples starring Jessie Eisenberg and Jason Ritter. Currently, Skinner is in development on the feature horror film The Legend Of Ciscero.

Available TVOD Beginning August 11, 2023 on Amazon Prime and other major digital platforms.

Before putting the lotion in the basket in “The Silence of the Lambs,” Brooke Smith was a regular fixture in the 1980s New York hardcore punk music scene. Rebellious adolescents flocked to New York’s Lower East Side to take in the sounds of the new music that dominated famous clubs like CBGBs. Her newly released book, Sunday Matinee, is a collection of Brooke’s incredibly intimate photos documenting that time before digital cameras and cell photos.

In addition to her famous role in “Silence,” Brooke Smith has enjoyed a decades-long successful career as an actress in film and television, appearing in such notable films as “Mr. Wonderful,” “Bad Company” and “Melinda and Melinda,” as well as having held recurring roles in popular television and cable series including “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Law & Order” and “Bates Motel.”

Guests who book the Brooke Smith Special Weekend tour at Buffalo Bill’s House will be delighted by the interactive well set, located in the basement of the house. The well is a replica of the infamous well in the movie, and is uncannily realistic. Constructed of real granite with all the gruesome markings from the movie, the well includes details such as the bloody fingernail scratches along the wall. Guests who purchase a ‘VIP Experience with Brooke Smith’ in the well will actually be able to physically enter the four feet deep well for a one-of-a-kind photo opportunity with Brooke, who will be dressed in a “hostage” costume, similar to what she wore as the famous movie hostage, Catherine Martin, in the iconic film.

To set the mood for the well photo opportunity, guests will be greeted upon entry by sounds of dripping water along with sound clips from the film of the victim Catherine screaming for her life. Additional props include a stuffed animal “Precious,” the little white bichon frise dog owned by the killer, a bucket, complete with lotion, which can be raised and lowered, as well knob & tube lighting to add to the eerie effect. To complete the chilling scene, there is also a hose for guests who want to channel Buffalo Bill’s character. All props can be used by guests to make their photo with Brooke Smith truly memorable.

‘Buffalo Bill’s Workshop of Horrors,’ also located in the basement of the house, is a re-creation of the famous Buffalo Bill’s dance set from the film complete with vintage Singer sewing machine, disco ball, four female mannequins dressed to resemble the ones in the movie, as well as a full length mirror and Buffalo Bill style kimono for guests’ use.

In the attic, guests will find ‘Buffalo Bill’s Playhouse,’ a retro-inspired game room that features a large screen TV complete with a 600+ library of select 70’s, 80’s and 90’s films on DVD and VHS. The Playhouse is tricked out with a host of full-sized classic arcade video games.

Buffalo Bill’s House is currently running a Summer Sale. A 25% OFF discount is applied for a two-night stay, a 30% discount for a three-night stay and 35% off for four nights or longer.
