Embrem Entertainment announces production of "Bye Bye, Fruit Fly"- 3/27/2009With a screenplay by Jesse Archer and directed by Casper Andreas, "Bye Bye, Fruit Fly" is the free-standing follow-up to the award-winning comedies "Slutty Summer" and "A Four Letter Word."... (New York, NY - March 27, 2009) Embrem Entertainment announced today it will produce the comedy "Bye Bye, Fruit Fly" (working title). Spinning off several of the characters from the company's first two films, "Slutty Summer" and "A Four Letter Word," "Bye Bye, Fruit Fly" promises raunchy excess, unforgettable characters, and more heart than ever before. Written by Jesse Archer, and to be directed by Casper Andreas, "Bye Bye, Fruit Fly" will be the third collaboration between Archer and Andreas (both Out 100 honorees in 2008). Having been hired to play the character Luke in Andreas first film "Slutty Summer," Archer teamed up with the director to write the script for that film's follow-up "A Four Letter Word," centered around the Luke character and directed by Andreas. Luke and many of the other gay characters from the previous films are back in "Bye Bye, Fruit Fly." However the story centers around Audrey, the last of the fag hags, who endeavors to leave all her gay friends behind to find a man of her own. In self-imposed exile, she discovers that you don't have to change the person you are to get what you want. "I like putting outcasts at the center of the story and allowing them to work out their truth," says Archer in a statement. "And in the gay community there is no more lovable outcast than our tried and true fruit fly!" "With humor and heartbreaking hysteria, Jesse's script tells the true meaning of family," says Andreas. "I can't wait to get started working on this wonderful story and to re-team with Jesse on yet another film." Fund-raising for "Bye Bye, Fruit Fly" has begun, and so far the producers have raised about half of the film's proposed budget of $200,000. Depending on financing and casting, the film is set to go into production as early as May 2009. Interested investors are welcome to read more about the project at www.embrem.com/fruit_fly_business_plan.pdf, and are encouraged to contact Casper Andreas, or the film's Executive Producer Mich Lyon at Embrem Entertaiment. This is the second feature film being produced by Embrem in 2009. The company is also in development of the dramedy "Going Down in LA-LA Land," based on the book by the same name by Andy Zeffer, and also to be directed by Andreas. In additon, Embrem just announced that it has picked up worldwide distribution rights to "The Big Gay Musical," a musical comedy film starring many Broadway actors and shot in New York in the fall of 2008. Overseeing the post-production of "The Big Gay Musical," Embrem intends to premiere it at film festivals during the summer of 2009. For more information, please visit www.embrem.com.
