Dark Comedy-Thriller Debuts on North American VOD Platforms and DVD November 29, 2024
SAMSON tells the story of a broken-up couple, Emma and Dale, who are forced to work together when they are kidnapped by masked men, Drew and Joe. Told through a fractured timeline & multiple perspectives, SAMSON is a comedic tragedy; a Shakespearean RESERVOIR DOGS with a musical number for good measure.
Written by David Harry Yoon & Ruth Du, SAMSON was directed by Ruth Du, produced by Ashley Cohen and Claire Brooks and co-produced by Alice Lee. The film’s cinematography is by Justin Alpern. The cast features Alice Lee (‘Emma’), Ryan Dance (‘Dale’), Will Brittain (‘Drew’) and Emilio Garcia-Sanchez (‘Joe’)
“SAMSON is like that sour piece of candy that has that surprise sweetness in the center, all while being wrapped in a shiny foil of a break-up story,” said filmmaker Ruth Du. “I love exploring characters who are not what they seem and unraveling relationships that are complex yet universal. I wanted to make a movie about race without making a movie about race.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire SAMSON directly with the filmmakers.
