Chicago based producer Angie Gaffney and writer/director Brittani Ward have secured a distribution deal with Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group for the North American VOD rights to their feature film, Single Car Crashes.
Brittani Ward wrote and directed the film and Angie Gaffney and Brittani Ward produced. Kelly Aisthorpe Waller, Ted Reilly, Markie Glassgow served as executive producers.
The cast features Trevor Morgan (‘Sean’), Lindsey Morgan (‘Kendall‘), Paulina Olszynski (‘Jane’), Cruz Gonzalez-Cadel (‘Ashley’), Chris Lee (‘Nolan’), Billy Dec (‘Joey’), Charín Alvarez (‘Mrs. Johnson’), Brixton McMillin (Zachary) and Billy Zane (‘Coach‘).
Single Car Crashes tells the story of Sean (Trevor Morgan), a one-time promising baseball recruit with a bright future, who still lives in the same small town where he and his friends grew up, works the same menial job he did in high school, and struggles with survivor’s guilt. Ten years after a devastating car crash took his best friend Zach’s life, Sean must now confront his failure to launch, or risk alienating his nine-year-old son (Brixton McMillin) and being left behind by the loved ones who know him best. When Zach’s sister—and Sean’s first love—Kendall (Lindsey Morgan) returns to town to marry someone else, the two reunite over their shared loss and flirt down memory lane, until sparks fly. An authentic portrait of enduring grief and friendship with a warm Midwestern charm, Single Car Crashes explores what’s possible when one learns to look towards the road ahead rather than focus on the rearview mirror.
“Going to high school in rural Illinois, I lost several of my young peers – including a best friend – to one-car accidents,” said filmmaker Brittani Ward. “Single Car Crashes is my love letter to the Midwest. It’s a coming-of-age story for adults, steeped in realism and unflinching in its portrayal of messy and complicated relationships.”
The film will be available to rent/own on all North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, in early 2025
