The Drunk Lonely Wives Book Club: a Comedic, Female-Driven, Digital Series Set in 1963 to Screen at the LA Femme International Film Festival on October 19th

Los Angeles, CA, October 17, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Viewers in Los Angeles can experience a #ThrowbackThursday to 1963 on Thursday, October 19th, when The Drunk Lonely Wives Book Club screens at the LA Femme International Film Festival. Directed by Emmy-winner Mary Lou Belli (NCIS: New Orleans, Famous In Love), this new digital series set in 1963 centers on four neighbors who found a ladies-only book club in which friendships are formed and broken, secrets are revealed, social conventions are challenged, and juicy discussions are had - few of which have anything to do with the monthly book.

At a time when female representation in film, television, and new media is a hot button issue, The Drunk Lonely Wives Book Club boasts a slew of talented women both in front of and behind the camera. Created and written by Gilli Messer (ABC Discovers Showcase, CBS Sketch Comedy Diversity Showcase), the series features a cast of up and coming actresses, including Messer herself (Jessie, American Housewife), Tania Gunadi (Enlisted, Girl Meets World), Katie Enright (How I Met Your Mother), Alexandra Bayless (Halt and Catch Fire), and Malerie Grady (Alice in Murderland). On directing an ensemble of female performers, Belli commented: “It was an honor to work with such talented actresses and see their creation of funny, touching characters...and it was a hoot to see them transform themselves in those sexy dresses!”
