Politically and Socially-Themed Comedy-Drama Releases on Digital and DVD October 11, 2024
Mud Key Sets Digital Debut for North American VOD Platforms and DVD for October 11, 2024
Los Angeles, CA (September 23, 2024). Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has acquired North American VOD rights to the politically and socially-themed comedy-drama Mud Key, which will be available to rent/own on all North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting on October 11, 2024.
Logline: the logline goes in here
Based on the filmmaker’s experiences on the water in the Florida Keys, Mud Key tells the story of lefty lesbian couple – Liz and Jodi Cohn-Jimenez – two newbie boaters prone to bickering, who head out with their yappy little terrier Pepe to a remote spot in the Gulf of Mexico backcountry called Mud Key. They come in way too hot, completely beaching their boat in the sand, and the local couple already there – right-wingers DJ and Amber Flint – are not too psyched. The superficial niceties soon give way to anxiety, neurosis and partisan politics. Tempers flare and insults fly and no one’s going anywhere until the tide comes back in for them to get out.
The Official Trailer for Mud Key Directed by Coley Sohn
Written and directed by Coley Sohn, MUD KEY was produced by Coley Sohn, Linda Bagley, Chad McClarnon, and Noreen Dimster Denk. The featured cast is Linda Bagley (‘Liz’), Chris MacKenzie (‘DJ’), Quinn Sullivan (‘Amber’), Coley Sohn (‘Jodi’).
“What do you get when you stick two lesbians and a lapdog together with a couple of rednecks on a deserted island? Mud Key! It’s all the ugliness of our current political climate, set in the most gorgeous of spots, wrapped in a comedy and served up with a good shot of heart,” said filmmaker Coley Sohn. “This story gives voice to the people on both sides, affirming Key West’s official creed ‘One Human Family.’ We’re all more similar than we are different.”
