In a culture where the role of President and First Lady (FLOTUS) are highly esteemed, but often scrutinized, comes FIRST LADY a rom-com for the entire family that features a cast of eclectic characters, delightful surprises and an unpredictable quest to win the race as the esteemed FLOTUS.
On February 14, 2020, Renaissance Women Productions will release to theaters the indie film FIRST LADY. The film stars Nancy Stafford (Matlock) and Emmy-nominated actor Corbin Bernsen (L.A. Law), and co-stars Burgess Jenkins (Remember the Titans), Jenn Gotzon Chandler (Frost/Nixon), Tany Christiansen (The Hate U Give), and Benjamin Dane.
The film unites beloved actors Stafford and Bernsen, who both starred in popular legal dramas, Stafford opposite Andy Griffith in Matlock ('86-'95) and Bernsen opposite Jimmy Smits and Harry Hamlin in L.A. LAW(86-94). First Lady is a classic romantic comedy with the backdrop of presidential politics and royal charm.
This indie rom-com is the creative work of writer/director Nina May and is distributed through ArtAffects Entertainment. Filming was primarily near Washington, DC and features a diversity of replicated interior scenes from The White House.
The rom-com's plot: When President Alex Morales dies in office, his widow, Kate (Stafford), agrees to help the bachelor VP, Taylor Brooks (Dane) in his bid for the presidency. Kate decides to run for First Lady on the ticket with VP Brooks and prevent the ditzy wife of their competitor (Christiansen) from destroying the dignity of FLOTUS. Meanwhile, Kate is unaware of a former teenage beau, now the king of a foreign nation (Bernsen), who comes to the White House in an effort to win her heart and present her with a much better proposal than she ever expected! She is torn between a promise and her calling. This modern fairytale about an autumn romance with a twist will inspire and entertain the whole family. Writer and director Nina May believes that audiences yearn for stories for the entire family and that harken back to a nostalgic genre of romantic comedy. "I wanted to create a film that would offer tender moments and humor for the entire family but with a political setting," says May. "We see two people who reunite later in life and discover it's not too late for their 'happily ever after' but we also experience a light-hearted comedy about The White House and palace intrigue."
FIRST LADY is rated PG (thematic elements) and directed, produced and written by Nina May. The film is distributed by ArtAffects Entertainment. Additional information is available at www.FirstLadyMovie.com
