PRESS RELEASE
PublicMediaWorks and Antibody Films Complete Co-Production of Feature Film
"Donna on Demand" is written by / directed by / stars Corbin Bernsen
Los Angeles, CA - April 4, 2008 -
PublicMediaWorks and Antibody Films today announced the completion of their independent feature film, "Donna on Demand".
The film noir thriller is the raunchy and quick-witted story of the last days of burned-out television actor Ben
Corbin (Corbin Bernsen, "L.A. Law", "Major League"), on the skids and on the fringes of Hollywood when he
gets a last chance at glory from an unlikely source: Ned, his "biggest fan" from a hayseed town in the middle
of nowhere; and a foul-mouthed ingenue named Donna (Adrienne Frantz, "The Young & The Restless").
Together, the three create an unlikely online sensation... But who is conning who?
The film's writer, director, and star Corbin Bernsen notes the uniqueness of his semi-autobiographical
project, saying "This has been something I've wanted to do for a very long time. The story behind the making
of this film, the incredible talent we've found, and the partnership with Antibody all came together at exactly
the right moment - presenting an opportunity to explore my own profession in a dark, quirky and comedic
way. It's a very personal project."
"The opportunity to combine our independent can-do-ism with the amazing, veteran cast that Corbin was
able to bring to a smaller project was great for both sides. On this film, we really found the makings of a
great team," says Antibody Films' co-founder and "Donna" producer Jesse Lawler.
"Donna on Demand" also stars Susan Ruttan (another "L.A. Law" veteran, now re-teaming with Bernsen);
Dan Lauria ("The Wonder Years"); and Bernsen's real-life mother, Jeanne Cooper ("The Young and the
Restless"), and brings together a complementary co-production partnership between PublicMediaWorks and
Antibody Films. The film represents the first of two features developed jointly by the companies: "Dead Air",
a forthcoming thriller starring Bill Moseley, Patricia Tallman, and Anthony Ray Parker and once again
directed by Bernsen, is scheduled to wrap principal photography this month in Los Angeles.
