PorchLight Takes On Holiday Film

LOS ANGELES, August 12: PorchLight
Home Entertainment is set to release the feature film Together Again for the
First Time on DVD this fall, with
parent company PorchLight Entertainment securing the worldwide rights on all
platforms to the Brownie Films production.

The holiday-themed comedy
will be released on PHE’s newly launched Ocean Park label, which highlights
independent films. In Together Again for the First Time, the Wolders-Frobisher family can’t stand each
other but are reuniting for the first time since their parents’ marriage seven
years earlier. Things become even worse with the unexpected arrival of an
ex-boyfriend, an unannounced television broadcast and the revelation of a dark
family secret.

The film will be available
for preorder on September 10 and for sale on October 14. The film was written,
produced and directed by Jeff Parkin and was based on a play by Reed McColm,
who also co-wrote the script and was a producer on the project.

Robert Yu, the VP of
feature films acquisitions for PorchLight Entertainment, said: “Together
Again for the First Time is an
engaging, light-hearted comedy with universal appeal and soul. This film is a
shining addition to the PorchLight Home Entertainment/Ocean Park library.”
