EastSiders, the Movie!

Wolfe Releasing has acquired the worldwide  Digital and DVD rights to EastSiders, the feature version of the web series dubbed “sharp, well-written and acted” by AfterElton.com.  The film, based on season one from writer/director/award-winning playwright Kit Williamson, reveals the aftermath of infidelity on a gay couple with heart and hilarity and will debut on VOD and DVD in summer 2014. 
 
“Kit Williamson is a talented writer-director and we’re thrilled to be releasing his amazing new feature version of this hilarious series,” said Wolfe President Maria Lynn.  “Web series and their resulting features are an important part of the way we watch entertainment today.”
 
“I still can't believe the journey the show has gone on -- from launching the first episode on YouTube to Wolfe picking it up for international distribution -- I am floored by the response we've received,” said Kit Williamson.  “Wolfe is an amazing company that has made an indelible mark on LGBT independent film and I think it's incredibly exciting that they are partnering with web content creators to expose their work to a new audience.”
