(San Diego, CA) PB&K Media, an entertainment creation, film distribution
and marketing company headquartered in San Diego, announces its partnership
with actor, director and writer, Corbin Bernsen, Team Cherokee Production and
Home Theater Films for U.S. theatrical distribution rights to the touching and
involving film, 25 Hill. Starring Bernsen, this film also features Nathan Gamble,
from the upcoming release of Dolphin Tale, and Bailee Madison from Wizards of
Waverly Place and Just Go With It. This announcement comes after the film’s
triumphant world premiere in Akron, Ohio, on July 9th.
Paul Broadhead, co-founder of PB&K Media, says, “25 Hill tells an
original, moving story focused on perseverance and believing in yourself and
others. We are pleased to announce our distribution partnership of this independent
film that not only entertains but leaves viewers with a renewed sense of hope.”
The film, which culminates at the “All American Soap Box Derby”
in Akron pays tribute to this long time competition tradition and promotes a
revival of this pastime. “In today’s challenged economy and fast-paced
digital world, families may have forgotten simple American values and the importance
of ‘dreaming big’ and working on a project together,” says
Bernsen. “This film speaks to all generations about not giving up on your
dreams and remembering the greatest rewards are friendship and standing by your
beliefs.”
Set in the small town of Taft, Calif., 12-year-old Trey Caldwell, played by
Gamble, receives a Christmas gift from his father – a Soapbox Derby car
kit. Before they can finish the car, Trey’s dad, an army reservist is
called to duty in Afghanistan and killed. Trey is left with his mom, the unfinished
car and a dream that is all but dead. His teacher introduces him to a friend,
Roy Gibbs, a local fire chief, played by Bernsen, who himself has suffered a
great tragedy after the loss of his son in the 9/11 attacks. Together, the two
embark on a journey to build a soap box derby car while facing other challenges
and differences. Along the way, they form a strong friendship and learn that
as a team, they can mend old wounds and accomplish more than they ever imagined.
25 Hill was written and directed by Bernsen. The film was co-produced by Bernsen
and Chris Aronoff with Mary Ethridge serving as executive producer. The film
is expected to hit theaters later this fall.
