FREESTYLE DIGITAL MEDIA RELEASES TWISTED ROMANTIC COMEDY-THRILLER “THE LIFE OF PETER GOTTLIEB”

Bizzare Rom-Com Thriller Debuts on North American VOD Platforms and on DVD on September 24, 2024

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has just released the twisted romantic comedy-thriller THE LIFE OF PETER GOTTLIEB, which is now available to rent/own on all North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting on September 24, 2024.

THE LIFE OF PETER GOTTLIEB tells the story of a community college professor who, fresh off a bitter divorce and on the brink of self-destruction, falls for his student, Sabrina Carbonowitz. As their strange friendship blossoms, a string of missing college students haunts the town and the local police force. When Sabrina goes missing, two hard-boiled detectives make Peter public enemy number one, and all hell breaks loose. THE LIFE OF PETER GOTTLIEB tells a wild tale filled with loss, redemption, a few laughs, and a whole lotta heart.

Directed by Samuel Centrella, THE LIFE OF PETER GOTTLIEB was co-written by Centrella, Reuben Barsky, and Giorgio Panetta. Producers include Reuben Barsky, Mike Marsdale, Sam Loshiavo, Samuel Centrella, Joe Duva, and Giorgio Panetta. The ensemble cast features Reuben Barsky (‘Peter Gottlieb’), Erica Pappas (‘Sabrina Carbonowitz’), Samuel Centrella (‘Detective Dan Murphy’), Giorgio Panetta (‘Detective Nicodemo Reno’), Greer Barnes (‘Lieutenant Harvey Mac’), William Apps (‘Lenny Carbonowitz’), Tommy Buck (‘Jasper Knox’), Tonya Pinkins (‘Dean Fedleman’), Michael Ford (‘Billy Kaiden’), Victoria Ratermanis (‘Charlotte’), Caitlin Hammond (‘Mallory Stein-Byrne’).

“THE LIFE OF PETER GOTTLIEB is a ‘broken love story’ between two lost souls who find each other in a dark world, and we wanted to combine our love for film, for romance, for danger, for a great soundtrack, and comedy to tell a gritty fairytale,” said filmmaker Sam Centrella. “In the fictional town of Chittenwa we explore power dynamics, addiction and intimacy. This is everything we wanted to see in a movie.”

Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire THE LIFE OF PETER GOTTLIEB directly with the filmmakers and Glen Reynolds of Circus Road Films.
