Bayview Entertainment has scored a major DVD release
to ring in the New Year. Yes, it is confirmed that Dec. 31 will be the street
date for writer/director Jason Shirley’s Innocent
Kiss, which features one of the final on-screen
performances of Burt Reynolds.
Reynolds was in preparation for the role of George
Spahn in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in … Hollywood when
he died suddenly of a heart attack. Sad.
Filmmaker Jason Shirley got to work with Reynolds in
2016 on his film titled Elbow Grease,
which opened at the Sarasota Film Festival in April of that year. It was perhaps rushed into completion and
even though audiences responded well, Shirley felt that some work was needed
and the film was withdrawn from further circulation to be re-cut and
re-worked.
Time passed, and as sometimes happens with
independent films, they just disappear.
Not so with Jason Shirley’s comedy, true to his word he re-worked it, tightened
it up and brought it to the Vancouver Just For Laughs Film Festival in February
of this year. Retitled as Innocent
Kiss, it received rave reviews … audiences loved
it!!
Bayview Entertainment got wind of Innocent
Kiss and now this down-home comedy will finally
be available for the public to enjoy … a nice, fun-filled way to ring in the
New Year!!!
