Paramount Home Media Distribution added The Orchard film
release of director Fabrizio Conte's Club Life to its DVD release
calendar this past week. The street
date selected is Aug. 25.
A very limited theatrical break (to generate critical
awareness) yielded ticket sales of $4,444.
The ARR comes in at 95 days.
In a story drawn from (suggested by) actual events, the
“Turtle” from HBO’s Entourage series, Jerry Ferrara, stars in this indie film
production as Johnny D, limo driver, entrepreneur and would-be ladies man. He has to break out of his easy-going comfort
zone when his father has a stroke and is confined to hospital care without
coverage.
That’s a big nut with the mounting bills, but as luck would
have it a Manhattan nightclub promoter named Mark, played by Danny A. Abeckaser,
who also co-wrote the script and upon whose experiences the story is based,
sees in our boy Johnny an opportunity to generate some cash. With his limo service, he need only find hot
chicks
(models) and steer them to the clubs that Mark promotes.
The more successful he is at the hustle, the more estranged
he is to his family and small circle of friends. With success — and the glamour of it all —
comes even bigger problems … and potentially bigger enemies.
Club Life is one of those “don’t look behind the curtain”
cautionary tales, because that seemingly innocent peek comes at a very high
personal price.
