deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Freestyle Digital Media has acquired North American rights to Allswell in New York, a dramedy co-starring and co-produced by The Bear Emmy nominee Liza Colón-Zayas, for release in theaters this fall.
Also starring Elizabeth Rodriguez (Orange Is the New Black) and Daphne Rubin-Vega (In the Heights), the film centers on Daisy (Rodriguez), a Brooklyn restaurateur giddy with excitement at the prospect of finally becoming a mom, who eagerly welcomes her young surrogate into her home for the last few weeks of pregnancy, blinded to the huge risk she’s taking — and the secret the troubled young woman is hiding.
