Synopsis
Jessica Murdock is on the run, scrounging for meals while trying to avoid authorities. Her husband is no longer with her and she has to rely on strangers’ kindess to survive. On her trail is Elsa Gray, a fixer for large organization. While neither Jessica nor Elsa have met they share more in common than they know.

Writer/Director John Rosman’s thriller expands the world of the standard thriller with emotional depth as the two strong willed women work through the circumstances that they find themselves in. NEW LIFE stands apart from conventional chase movies.

And if you are curious, we are being deliberately vague as to what driving the story. We hope you will join us for this journey.

Press
“A slam-bang thriller; simultaneously … a meditation on the meaning of existence. … All that in less than 90 minutes, with terrific performances, a great script, very good direction, and excellent below-the-line craftsmanship. Highly recommended.” – Dallas Film Now

“New Life might begin as a humble spy thriller, before evolving into something much more unusual and thought-provoking, but there is much to love here.” – Why Now
