Freestyle Digital Media, the recently-acquired Digital Film Distribution division of Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios, has acquired the North American rights to filmmaker Kenny Young’s highly-anticipated motion picture “Bachelors.” The film stars Colin Egglesfield (“All My Children”, “Rizzoli and Isles”), Drew Fuller (“Charmed”, “Army Wives”), David Faustino (“Married with Children”), and Fred Willard (“Anchorman,” “Modern Family”), and will be released on VOD and DVD on August 16th.
A highly comedic and thought-provoking character study that explores what happens when a very diverse group of thirty-something men come together and bare their souls, “Bachelors” introduces us to Aaron (Egglesfield), a young, professional single, and the quintessential “bachelor.” Jumping from woman to woman, he believes in indulging in the physical and avoiding the emotional and carries the mantra “never let a woman get too close.”
In actuality, Aaron’s promiscuous lifestyle serves as a buffer for his own deep-rooted fear of commitment – the only problem being, he doesn’t see this as a problem. But tonight, it’s not about Aaron. His childhood buddy and former woman-chasing partner, Sean (Fuller), is getting married, yet Sean is having issues of his own. With Aaron in his ear, he begins to wonder if this “marriage thing” will be a mistake.
The film was written and directed by Kenny Young, produced by Phil James and executive produced by Angela White.
“It’s refreshing to see male camaraderie portrayed in such an honest, earnest way while still being side-splitting funny,” said Freestyle Head of Acquisitions Chris Charalambous.
“We’re excited to partner with Freestyle in the release of ‘Bachelors,” said Barry Barnholtz. CEO of Barnholtz Entertainment. “We strived to make a film that handles themes of love, temptation, and modern-day relationships in a hilarious yet poignant and thought-provoking manner. We believe Freestyle Digital Media’s passion and support will help guide us in sharing this funny and engaging movie with viewers throughout America and Canada.”
Recent Freestyle titles include the UK hit “Northern Soul,” which screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, the hit horror-comedy “Zombeavers,” Cinderella tale “After the Ball” starring Portia Doubleday and Chris Noth, “The Devil’s Violinist” starring international superstar violinist David Garret, “Three Night Stand” starring Emmanuelle Chriqui, and the teen thriller “The Sisterhood of Night.”
