.
Written and directed by Michael Whaley, FAIR GAME is a romantic comedy about a couple who are meant for each other, though they continue to encounter circumstances that keep them apart. Gina Torres stars as Stacey Bennett, a high-powered school administrator on the fast track to a major job promotion and career success. When she and a young man on her job (Michael Whaley) have a passionate fling, he becomes smitten with her and begins pursuing a relationship even though she rejects his advances. He will stop at nothing to prove his love for her.

Anticipating the January 10th release of FAIR GAME, filmmaker Michael Whaley says, “We’re thrilled that Fair Game is coming out soon on DVD and that audiences around the country will finally get a chance to see it and enjoy it.” Whaley began shooting the film in Los Angeles in 2001, the day before 9/11 and says the obvious halt of production following the tragedy and subsequent challenges in connection with the independent filmmaking process made the journey to completion a long and arduous one.

“There were many obstacles that tested our faith many times but we kept moving forward and because we had such a great cast who agreed to come back and shoot the film even with their busy schedules, we finished FAIR GAME and are really proud of it,” Whaley states.

NOTE: Actors will be conducting radio, print and on-line interviews throughout the month of DECEMBER. Interested journalists please contact:
