MEL BROOKS & NICHOLAS BROOKS ATTEND NYC PREMIERE FOR FIRST FEATURE FILM TOGETHER "Sam" WITH CAST AND VIP GUESTS

Last night Executive Producer Mel Brooks attended the NYC premiere of "Sam," his first film together with his son Nicholas Brooks.

On working with his father on his feature debut, Nicholas Brooks says “Writing, producing and directing “Sam” has been an incredible experience thanks to an amazing cast and crew. I am excited to finally be sharing her with the world. Working with my dad on my first feature has been a fantastic experience – he is a continuously supportive, caring and wonderful executive producer.”

The event, which took place at Sunshine Cinema in Lower Manhattan, was attended by Mel Brooks, Nicholas Brooks, cast members James McCaffrey ("Max Payne", Bryan Batt ("Mad Men"), Natalie Knepp ("The Last Five Years"), Tom Pelphrey ("Banshee") and Brock Harris ("Simple Little Lives") and celebrity guests including Carrie Preston, Michael Emerson, Billy Magnussen, Courtney Reed and Joseph Moinian, and lead producer Sibyl Santiago.

“Sam” is the story of a quintessential New York City alpha male who must learn how to be ‘Samantha’ when he is suddenly transformed into a beautiful woman, starring Natalie Knepp (“Orange is the New Black”), Sean Kleier (“Odd Mom Out”), Stacy Keach (“American History X”), Brock Harris (“Major Crimes”) Morgan Fairchild (“Chuck”), Bryan Batt (“Mad Men”), James McCaffrey (“Rescue Me”) and Sarah Scott (“Soaked in Bleach”).

“Sam” is a romantic comedy with a twist. It’s a story of love and friendship, and what happens when the two collide in the weirdest way possible. It follows the journey of Sam Wellman (Brock Harris), an alpha male and woman hater, and his relationship with Doc (Sean Kleier), his best and only friend. The morning after one very strange night, Sam awakens to find himself transformed into a woman. The wheel of Karma turns, and Sam – now Samantha (Natalie Knepp) – finds herself the object of her lascivious boss’s unwanted affections, whilst her friendship with Doc changes completely.

"Sam" is being distributed worldwide by Vision Films and is now available on DVD and VOD in North America.
