FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
1555 FILMWORKS ANNOUNCES A NEW INDEPENDENT FILM TITLED
“I USED TO LOVE HER”
***
Chicago, Illinois – January 4, 2008 - From Mark
Harris, the director of Blockbuster Video’s “Why Men
Cheat” and Indican Pictures’ “Cut N It Up”, comes his
latest film “I Used To Love Her” , an Urban love story
starring stage and spoken word artist, Mel “Mel-Rob”
Roberson and Toya Turner as two star-crossed lovers
whose worlds collide when a fateful meeting brings
them together. When this film comes out in the
Spring of 2008, it will be the movie that every
celebrity, future star, and “average Joe” will relate
to and talk about for quite some time.
“I Used To Love Her” is a dramedy that contains
faith-based elements against a hip hop, hard-core
street backdrop mixed with a little neo-soul. Turner
plays Simee Smith, a pop singer who has lost her
morals in the music industry. When fed up with what
her life has turned into in Hollywood, Ca, she heads
back to her hometown Chicago .
While restoring her self worth and respect, Simee
falls in love with a man by the name of Ramadan
(played by Roberson) who is in strong contrast to her
type, but much needed for her growth as a new woman.
Life gets better and better, but you cannot run from
your past forever. Everything comes to light. Now will
her history ruin her future?
“I Used To Love her” is inspired by the classic first
single from “Resurrection”, the sophomore album from
award winning artist Common, who is now one of
Hollywood ’s emerging stars.
The cast of “I Used To Love Her” is rounded out by
Tiffany J. Curtis (“A Get2Gether”, “Love Relations”),
who plays Celine and has a cult following from her
days on the dramatic television series “The
Awakenings”, Lil Rel (“Last Comic Standing”, “Who’s
Got Jokes” and “Cut N It Up”) a stand up comedian who
took the Jamie Foxx route in “I Used To Love Her” to
sit his comedy aside in order to take a much serious
role as Country, Simeon Henderson (“Partyline”,
“Subtle Seduction”) who plays Terrence, Ramadan’s
brother and Sheree Bynum, Jaci Williamson, Ruby
Gonzalez, Dori King, and comedians Damon Williams and
BLT.
