LOS ANGELES, CA, CA, UNITED STATES, April 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- American actress Holly Dawn Davidson is set to mesmerize audiences with her compelling performance in the upcoming documentary “Four Down”, produced by Hollywood luminaries Mark Wahlberg and Snoop Dogg. This gripping film, directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Steven Cantor, is based on the true story of survival following a tragic boating accident in 2009 that claimed the lives of former University of South Florida football player Will Bleakley and ex-Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith. With its powerful narrative, Four Down is poised to be one of the year's standout releases.Davidson, whose star continues to rise in the entertainment industry, brings remarkable depth and authenticity to her pivotal role. Known for her captivating screen presence and unwavering dedication to her craft, she is quickly establishing herself as a formidable talent in Hollywood. "Being part of Four Down has been an incredible experience," Davidson shared. "Collaborating with such an exceptional team on a project that tells a real, powerful story is truly an honor. I can't wait for the audience to see it."
The film centers on the harrowing experience of survivor Nick Schuyler, whose story is recounted in his bestselling 2010 memoir, Not Without Hope. Schuyler was discovered clinging to the engine mount of a capsized vessel 70 miles offshore, having survived near death for an astonishing 43 hours. Four Down artfully combines documentary elements with reenactments featuring U.S. Coast Guard members and officers. The film includes interviews with Schuyler, members of the NFL community, and the U.S. Coast Guard, who played an integral role in the extensive search and rescue operations.
Filming for Four Down took place in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Tampa, Florida, as well as at Lantica Studios in the Dominican Republic. The film is set to have its world premiere as the Opening feature on April 24 at the Sunscreen Film Festival in Clearwater, Florida, where the story is poignantly rooted. "On behalf of Nick Schuyler and his family, and our entire producing team, I’d like to thank Tony Armer and the Sunscreen Film Festival for honoring us with its Opening Night selection," expressed Rick French, Schuyler’s agent and managing partner of Prix Productions, who also produced the film. "This story unfolded before the world’s eyes over several days in Clearwater, so this is where we wanted our premiere to be held. It will allow families and friends to come together and celebrate the lives of Marquis, Corey, and Will while also recognizing the heroism of the Coast Guard members who risked their lives to rescue Nick that fateful day."
The opening night screening will be followed by an engaging Q&A session with the filmmakers, offering audiences exclusive behind-the-scenes insights into making this poignant documentary. Four Down is produced by director Cantor alongside Jamie Schutz of Stick Figure Productions, French of Prix Productions, Stanley Buchthal, and David Koh of Dakota Media Group. Executive producers include Schuyler, Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, and Archie Gips of Unrealistic Ideas, Snoop Dogg and Sara Ramaker of Death Row Pictures, and Gala Film’s Eric Schiermeyer and Jonathan Hazeldine.
