It is the feature directorial debut of director John Stewart Muller and stars Brandon Routh, Steve Sandvoss, Courtney Ford, Nick Wechsler, Shoshana Bush and Ellen Hollman. It is the first feature from Santa Monica-based Steele Films and was written and produced by John Stewart Muller and his partner Laura Boersma.

"Fling" features Brandon Routh in his first lead role since "Superman Returns". It premiered to a sold out crowd at the 2008 Newport Beach Film Festival on April 26 in the beautiful Lido Theater on the Balboa Peninsula. In addition, it received an award for "Outstanding Achievement in Filmmaking" from the festival's jury.

"Fling" will have its official Los Angeles Premiere on October 18th at the Fine Arts Theatre on Wilshire as part of the 2008 LA Femme Film Festival.

Shortly thereafter, it will be having its East Coast Premiere on November 7 at the 2008 Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival. One week later on November 14, "Fling" will have its Midwest Premiere at The Screenland Theatre in the Crossroads District of Kansas City, MO which will kick off a weeks run at the theater. Theatrical release in select cities will follow shortly.

"Fling" will be having its International Premiere at the 2008 Bahamas International Film Festival in early December of 2008. North American distribution is being provided by Peace Arch Entertainment and DVD release is expected early in the second quarter of 2009.

Plot

By all appearances, Samantha (Courtney Ford) and Mason (Steve Sandvoss) are the picture perfect couple: young, attractive, successful, and madly in love. At her sister Allison’s (Ellen Hollman) idyllic spring wedding, Samantha, a twenty-something fashion designer, finds herself irresistibly drawn back into the arms of her ex-boyfriend, James (Brandon Routh), a surprise wedding guest. Meanwhile, Mason, a published novelist just shy of thirty, spends a flirtatious evening culminating in a steamy hot tub encounter with his best friend Luke’s (Nick Wechsler) 18 year-old sister, Olivia (Shoshana Bush). Carefully sneaking out of James’s room, Sam is startled by Mason and confesses her affair. But Mason’s reaction is not quite what is expected.

So begins "Fling". This twist on the classic love story addresses concerns that every couple must deal with: honesty, jealousy, commitment, maturity, understanding and ultimately the capacity for love.

The supporting cast includes Mousa Kraish, Deborah Rush, Tamar,dn and Diana Newton.

"Fling" explores modern relationships with a frankness and candor rarely seen in motion pictures. From its performances to its refusal to resort to melodramatic cliches, "Fling" weaves a story with relevance to anyone who has ever been in love.

Production

"Fling" features original music by Nick Urata, the frontman for the band DeVotchKa, whose work on the "Little Miss Sunshine" soundtrack resulted in a Grammy nomination.

The film was shot in and around Kansas City, Missouri.
