Exclusive: Freestyle Digital Media has acquired North American rights to a pair of coming-of-age dramas: writer-director Alana Waksman’s debut feature We Burn Like This, and writer-director Anna Matz’s first feature, Love You Anyway. The digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group plans to release both titles across internet and satellite platforms on June 28.
Inspired by true events, the former film from Armian Pictures shows the inherited effects of historical trauma and the strength of survival and healing. When 22-year-old Rae (Madeleine Coghlan), a descendant of Holocaust survivors, is targeted by Neo-Nazis in Billings, Montana, her ancestors’ trauma becomes real. As antisemitism continues to rise in the community, we follow Rae on her journey to forgive herself, her mother and the broken world. We Burn Like This also stars Reservation Dogs‘ Devery Jacobs, as well as Kendra Mylnechuk, Angelo Rizzo, Casidee Riley and Megan Folsom.

Brat, the digital studio and network focused on creating entertainment for Gen-z, has expanded its executive ranks to match its growing ambitions.
Since raising $30 million in July, Brat has expanded into a new, 10,000-square-foot studio in Hollywood and brought in 50 full-time employees.
“A year ago today, we were just eight people,” said Rob Fishman, Brat’s co-founder. “As our audience rapidly expands, we’ve staffed up considerably to increase production, explore new verticals and partner with advertisers.”
The company tapped Eleanor Nett as head of production, to oversee programming initiatives. Before joining Brat she worked as vice president of physical production at Endgame Entertainment, and as COO of Fancy Films Post Services.
Chase Logan, who was the senior post-production supervisor at Awesomeness TV, has been named head of post-production.
Bolstering the company’s corporate ranks are Leigha Kemmett, who joins as director of finance, after roles at Disney, Hulu and Fox.
