Entertainment Squad Takes Parnell, Buono, Haysbert Relationship Comedy ‘In Fidelity’ (Exclusive)

Entertainment Squad, the boutique distribution company founded by Shaked Berenson, has acquired the relationship comedy In Fidelity, starring Chris Parnell (Saturday Night Live, Fallout) and Cara Buono (Stranger Things, Mad Men), as well as Dennis Haysbert and Illeana Douglas.

The company is planning a release early next year.

In Fidelity sees Parnell and Buono play a happily married New York City couple who, upon receiving life-changing news, decide to live a life of no regrets by experimenting with a “hall pass” for an open relationship. “After a tricky love triangle forms with their musician neighbor,” portrayed by Haysbert, it also soon draws in the couple’s flirtatious friend (Douglas). Plus, there are “unexpected consequences for their rebellious Gen Z daughter (Willow Shields).”

The film is written and directed by Rob Margolies, who directed the boxing drama Bobcat Moretti, starring Vivica A. Fox.

“Our goal was to explore and challenge universal marital concepts through a unique lens, yet still remain true to the spectrum of emotions that all relationships go through,” said Margolies.

Producer Joe Grano added: “This film tackles very relatable themes in a beautifully quirky but heartfelt way – whether it’s testing the boundaries of monogamy, fear of death and getting old, or just trying to relate to your children. We hope audiences will laugh out loud one moment and get teary-eyed the next.”

The film was produced by Margolies’ Different Duck Films and by Grano via his company Set Point Entertainment. Executive producers include Eve Austin, Michalina Scorzelli, and Pete Dorton. Entertainment Squad will be releasing the movie in English-speaking countries and selling it for foreign territories at the upcoming American Film Market in November.

Said Berenson: “In a world where political correctness often dictates conversations, In Fidelity boldly explores the complexities of open relationships with humor and depth.”
