The Oscar-nominated star Eric Roberts is set to lead the vertical drama titled 'Its My Party and Ill Die If I Want To,' reported Deadline. It is produced under the banner of New Short Media by Alon Shtruzman and Scott Einbinder, reported Deadline.
Created by Gev Miron and Charlie Parker, it will be released as both an episodic vertical series and feature film intended for theatrical release. According to the outlet, the project follows Anna, who races to conceal the shocking truth about her best friends death on the night of her 21st birthday. As guests arrive and long-buried secrets begin to surface, Anna confronts betrayal and family revelations that threaten to turn a celebration into a night of lies and fatal consequences. Roberts, who was Oscar-nominated for 1985s Runaway Train, stars alongside Merrick Hanna, Neela Jolene and Ryker Baloun. According to Deadline, former Keshet International boss Shtruzman and ex-Cristal Pictures Co-CEO Einbinder launched New Short Media earlier this year, one of a new wave of vertical drama platforms tapping into the in-vogue medium. Shtruzman said: Vertical drama isnt replacing Hollywood. Its adding a new engine at a time when traditional television and streaming are contracting. Micro-vertical is a new language of storytelling, and this fast-growing category is bringing new investment and new jobs into the entertainment industry. Roberts is already featuring in a separate vertical project, Billionaires Broken Vow, which premiered at Americas first microdrama festival earlier this month. (ANI)
