Friends are THE FAMILY You Get To Choose
½ New Year is brought to us by Producers Georgia Menides, Zachary Ryan Block & Drew McAnany. Cinematography by Pierce Cook.
"It's a dream come true to tell this story," Said co-writer/co-star Drew McAnany "I've always been such a huge fan of ensemble films. And Georgia and I really wanted to tell a story that was relatable and fun. Being able to act in a film that I wrote and produced is surreal. I'm so excited to be on this journey with these amazing people."
Georgia Menides added "A lot of people move to LA leaving their families far away. And let's face it, dating in LA is a mine field. So you have to have close friends or you won't survive here. Our friends really do become your family. Ultimately that's the story I want to tell"
Director Tom Morash added "The script brings together so many different elements of this group's friendship. The group can be funny, serious, and unpredictable -- the way friends typically are. Their annual half new year party is the perfect setting to explore their dynamics as a group, individually, and one on one. A year after one of them leaves the group in a dramatic and dangerous way, the glue that holds them together is about to leave L.A. and move back east. They all realize that this could be their last time together and they don't hold back their emotions. We're incredibly fortunate to have a cast that comes together in a real and believable way."
