FREESTYLE DIGITAL MEDIA RELEASES CROSS-CULTURAL HOLIDAY-THEMED DRAMA “CASH FOR GOLD”

Original Drama Now Available on North American VOD Platforms and DVD starting February 4, 2024

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, February 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has just released the cross-cultural holiday-themed drama CASH FOR GOLD, now available on North American VOD Platforms and DVD starting on February 4, 2024.

CASH FOR GOLD tells the story of a struggling Army widow who finds work with a Muslim family at Christmas time, facing a secret that could unravel her whole life. Set against the backdrop of Christmas in America’s heartland, CASH FOR GOLD is a poignant feature film about loss, forgiveness, and hope as it follows Grace (Deborah Puette), an Army widow hiding a dark secret and fighting to support herself and her young son (Sawyer Gacka) while clinging to her recent sobriety. With Christmas fast approaching, she takes a job at the local pawn shop owned by the town’s only Muslim family. Grace initially butts heads with the owner's son, Hasan (Farshad Farahat), a man with a secret of his own. As their relationship deepens, forces within their tiny community propel them toward one dangerous, explosive night. Will they each face the mistakes of their past...or be destroyed by them forever?

Directed by Robert Enriquez & Deborah Puette from a screenplay written by Puette, CASH FOR GOLD was produced by Ahmos Hassan and Robert Enriquez. The cast includes Deborah Puette (‘Grace’), Farshad Farahat (‘Hasan’), JoBeth Williams (‘Boots’), David Sullivan (‘Mikey’), Lesley Fera (‘Mary Clarke’), Jeff Kober (‘Robby’), Andrew J. West (‘Eric’), Marcelo Tubert (‘Mohammad’), and Sawyer Gacka (‘Noah’).

"With CASH FOR GOLD, we set out to create a story that is as heartwarming as it is thought-provoking—a unique take on an emotionally powerful Christmas movie that celebrates the transformative power of forgiveness, kindness, and human connection,” said producer and CEO of Chariot Entertainment, Ahmos Hassan. “On behalf of Deborah Puette, Robert Enriquez, and our entire cast and crew, we are thrilled to partner with Freestyle Digital Media to bring CASH FOR GOLD to audiences everywhere. We couldn’t be more excited to share this inspiring work and its message of hope with the world."

Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire CASH FOR GOLD directly with producer Ahmos Hassan of Chariot Entertainment, which is represented by Elsa Ramo and Tiffany Boyle at Ramo Law.
