For Immediate Release Actress CHRISTINA DEROSA Proves Mysterious Alongside Lily Collins in New Thriller Feature ‘INHERITANCE’
Premiered on DirecTV April 23, 2020 and Available VOD Beginning May 22, 2020
LOS ANGELES (May 4, 2020) – Actress Christina DeRosa proves a mysterious piece to the puzzle that Lily Collins is trying to solve in the new thriller feature film INHERITANCE. Directed by Vaughn Stein (Terminal)
and also starring Simon Pegg, the Tribeca Film Festival selection
premiered on DirecTV on April 23rd and will be available on VOD
beginning May 22nd.
Written
by Mark Kennedy, the plot revolves around the patriarch of a wealthy
and powerful family who suddenly passes away, leaving his wife and
daughter Lauren (Collins) with a shocking secret inheritance that
threatens to unravel and destroy their lives. The story unfolds when
Lauren discovers an emaciated man, Morgan (Pegg), who claims to know all
her family’s dirty secrets and sets off a chain of shocking
revelations. DeRosa enters the storyline as Sofia Fiore, a pivotal
character in the film with further details being kept under wraps.
DeRosa
was excited to help bring this thriller to the screen, adding “The
moment I first read the audition scene, I knew this was a role I felt
close to. The script is so well written and the strength, honesty and
vulnerability spoke to me.”
Audiences
will recognize DeRosa from several notable roles in film and
television. She lit up the screen as Heather alongside Mila Kunis,
Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn in Bad Moms, recurred as Nicole on ABC’s hit comedy Blackish, and starred as a series regular on the Pure Flix original comedy Mood Swings.
This petite but curvy beauty has come a long way since first starting
her career on-stage as a munchkin alongside Natalie Portman in The Wizard of Oz.
A native New Yorker, DeRosa eventually made the move to Los Angeles to
further her career, earning a BA from UCLA’s prestigious School of
Theatre, Film and Television.
In
more recent years, DeRosa has pivoted her talents becoming a rising
powerhouse producer. She successfully set her sights on bringing
female-driven projects to the screen for Lifetime TV, including the
fan-favorite, Campus Caller. She also recently teamed with Mary
Lou Belli (2-time Emmy winner) and creator Elaine Loh (named
International Screenwriters Association’s Top 25 Screenwriters to Watch)
to produce the celebrated short form series, Doxxed. The project went on to win at the Catalyst Content Film Festival and Raindance Film Festival among others.
Currently, DeRosa is producing the feature film trilogy, A Savannah Haunting,
under her production banner D.I.G Entertainment in collaboration with
Fort Argyle Films. She is also currently working on an animated feature
film from writer/director Kevin Conran (Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow).
An
active member of the Television Academy, DeRosa won the Artists in
Cinema Award at Universal through the Artists in Music Awards and the
2014 Rising Star Award through the 8th annual FAME awards. When not
on-set, DeRosa is a true humanitarian, proudly bringing awareness to
causes that matter to her, including serving as the chairwoman for the
non-profit Face Forward.
Christina DeRosa is represented by Kingvigor Inc. Management.
