As days grow shorter and nights a little cooler, Singleholic offers perfect snuggle weather viewing.
‘Singleholic’, a saucy comedy about getting back in the game is streaming on BoxOffice from 14th April, offering perfect snuggle weather viewing. Sarah Wilcox (Erica Ash) moves to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius to pursue her PhD after a painful breakup with her boyfriend.
A beautiful woman, an idyllic island full of handsome, eligible men, what could possibly go wrong? In the spirit of ‘Sex & the City’ and ‘Girl’s Trip’, Singleholic is a fast-paced comedy in which Sarah, egged on by best friends GeeGee and Jackie, throws caution to the wind and dives back into the dating pool, with hilarious consequences. But, are bulging biceps, handsome faces and luxury yachts really what she’s looking for?
“Singleholic is a romantic comedy that deals with women being completely open about what their needs are and what they think,” says producer Milan Selassie. “It’s sexy, funny, irreverent, relevant and insightful, and even has a life lesson or two.”
“Our culture is changing and adapting, our needs as human beings have changed, so with those changes, men and women are still trying to find out how to be intimate and autonomous, how to be true to themselves and how to be coupled,” comments Vanessa Estelle Williams who plays Jackie.
‘Singleholic’ stars Rotimi Akinosho, R&B chart topping singer and star of the American TV show ‘Power’, opposite Erica Ash (‘Survivor’s Remorse’, ‘Uncle Drew’), Stephen Bishop (‘Being Mary Jane’), Tyson Beckford (superstar model and actor), Vanessa Estelle Williams (‘New Jack City’, ‘Soul Food’) and Adrian Martinez (‘Focus’, ‘I Feel Pretty’).
Produced by Milan Selassie ‘Singleholic’ is based on the novel by the same name from English author Katherine Bing. Bryan Barber served as the director. This film was shot in Mauritius.
‘Singleholic’ is distributed in South Africa by Indigenous Film Distribution.
