FREESTYLE DIGITAL MEDIA ACQUIRES DRAMEDY “WE COULD STILL BE PEN PALS” FOR JULY RELEASE
Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, proudly announces the acquisition of VOD rights to the dramedy WE COULD STILL BE PEN PALS, which will be available to rent/own on all North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting July 11, 2025.
WE COULD STILL BE PEN PALS is a dramedy about a cynical relationship therapist, who takes over her late grandmother’s pen pal correspondent to find purpose in healing another’s relationships, as long as her recipient never discovers her true identity. 5th grade is hard; but graduating 5th grade and leaving for middle school is harder. Damien is sorry to be leaving Mrs. Lewis, his favorite teacher, behind. However, she suggests they remain “pen pals” so he can still write to her about his new school and experiences. Years pass as their writing continues, and as a senior in college, struggling with career choices and girlfriend troubles, Damien rediscovers his old letters. He begins writing again to his old teacher, unknowing that she has recently passed away. Her granddaughter, Lindsey, receives one of Damien’s letters to her late grandmother, and finds herself unable to write back to him with the truth of the situation. Instead, she decides to try to help. This unlikely friendship between a man too scared of the future, and a woman scared to commit to her present, will teach them both what it means to be confident in themselves, and what they seek in another partner.
Written and directed by Juliet Lucas, WE COULD STILL BE PEN PALS was produced by Lydia Wills and Markus Kashouh. The featured cast includes: DonnaKelli Barnett (‘Mrs. Lewis/DonnaKelli’), Alec Dean Boeschen (‘Damien’), Sára Gellért (‘Secretary’), Shay Anuhea (‘Stacy’), and River Downing (‘Young Damien’).
“WE COULD STILL BE PEN PALS is a friendship story about relationships,” said filmmaker Juliet Lucas. “This movie is about the discovery of what we truly want and need in a partner, and what we are willing to sacrifice.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire WE COULD STILL BE PEN PALS directly with filmmaker Juliet Lucas.
