ABOUT DAY OUT OF DAYS
Alexia Landeau, Melanie Griffith (Working Girl, Milk Money) and Eddie Izzard (Valkyrie, Hannibal), star in the captivating dramedy Day Out Of Days, available on Digital HD and On Demand February 23 from MarVista Digital Entertainment. Co-written by Landeau, alongside Director Zoe Cassavetes (Broken English), the “lofty, yet realistic portrayal of trying to survive in Hollyweird” (Cinemacy) also stars Christa B. Allen (“Revenge”), Cheyenne Jackson (“30 Rock,” “American Horror Story”), Vincent Kartheiser (“Mad Men”), Alessandro Nivola (American Hustle), Brooke Smith (The Silence of the Lambs, “Law and Order”), and Bellamy Young (“Scandal,” “Criminal Minds”).
Mia Roarke (Landeau) bathed in the Hollywood spotlight during her younger years, but now as a forty-year-old actress, she is faced with the reality of an industry that no longer embraces her. Her agent wants to get rid of her; she’s strapped with her mother (her former manager) who is fighting personal demons; and her actor ex-husband has moved on to a new relationship and still finds Hollywood a favorable bedfellow. Struggling to recapture relevance in the cutthroat and youth-obsessed world of “The Business,” Mia may just be her own worst enemy. After experiencing some humiliating events, she is forced to confront her situation and determine what her next role in life will be.
