Exclusive: Byron Allen’s Freestyle Digital Media has acquired and set release dates for Kindling, a coming-of-age drama starring George Somner with Mia McKenna-Bruce, and Objects, a documentary from Vincent Liota.
Watch the trailers for both below.
Inspired by true events, Kindling follows the story of a group of young men who return to their hometown to turn their terminally ill friend’s final summer into a celebration of life, love and friendship. Facing mortality, Sid (Sex Education‘s Somner) wants to create a legacy and be remembered forever. With his obsession for astronomy and the atmosphere, he comes up with a plan. He gives each boy a category — love, home, friends, family and location — and asks them to find an item that connects them all with the word they’ve been given. Together, they’ll burn the items on a gigantic fire, making the particles and his memory a part of the atmosphere forever.
