Freestyle Digital Media has announced today
that they have acquired all U.S. VOD rights and have set May 12, 2015
as the release date for teen comedy THE A-LIST. The funny HIGH SCHOOL
centric film marks the directorial debut for Will Bigham, the winner of
Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett's "On the Lot" reality show.
Alyson Stoner (Step Up films, "Phinneas & Ferb"), Hal Sparks ("Lab
Rats" "Queer as Folk") and Skyler Vallo ("True Blood") costar in this
hilarious comedy. Eric Schultz (Hudson Thames, "The Secret Life of the
American Teenager") is the coolest student at Lake Odell High School. He
has the looks, the girl, and the popularity. Even the school newspaper
has turned into a gossip blog about his personal life. His guidance
counselor, Sylvia Martin (Elizabeth Bond), is just as in awe of him as
everyone else is. Being a nerd back in her day, Sylvia has always wished
she could have done the things that come so easily to Eric. When she
discovers he is missing one class to graduate, she makes a deal with
him. If Eric completes a list of 5 things she always wanted to do in HIGH SCHOOL (like date the quarterback and be a cheerleader) she will fudge his transcript and allow him to graduate!
THE A LIST is produced by Astromech Records LLC, Kevin Callies, D.J. Halferty, and Matthew Karchesky.
"Who wouldn't like a HIGH SCHOOL do-over?" said Mark Borde, President of Freestyle, "This is a very funny film with a great cast and a very VOD-friendly genre.
"This film encapsulates the hilarious pettiness of high school," said
Barry Barnholtz, CEO of Barnholtz Entertainment. "It took me back and
made me laugh."
Producers DJ Halferty and Kevin Callies added, "The entire process of
making The A-List was a dream come true. We couldn't be happier with the
outcome, and we're excited that people will now have the chance to see
it."
The U.S. deal was negotiated by Chris Charalambous on behalf of Freestyle Releasing and by Barry Barnholtz on behalf of Barnholtz Entertainment.
Concourse Film Trade, the worldwide sales arm of Matthew Shreder and
Andrew Felts' Concourse Media, handled worldwide rights on the film and
brokered the distribution deal.

Michael Jai White action flick FALCON RISING, the teen thriller THE
