ABOUT STRANGE LOVE
Strange Love is the perfect scarytale from Colley and Smallwood. Carl Anthony Payne (“Martin”) directs a cast that represents the blending of the executive producers’ creativity. The cast is a mashup of established actors like Marquita Goings and Patrice Lovely with social influencers like Micheal Anthony (Mike Bless) and Rolonda Rochelle (Ro)–from the popular “Kountry Wayne” sketches–and reality stars-turned-actors like Shirlene King and Erica Pinkett. Deshawn [Wayne] and his wife Megan, played by Goings (Woke), are living in a cramped, crappy, apartment next to noisy neighbors. Fed-up and frustrated, Megan refuses to have sex until their living situation improves. Desperate to save their marriage, Deshawn and Megan buy the “too good to be true” house and find out it’s haunted. However, this ghostale gets a bit entangled when Deshawn gives in to the pleasures of the spirit.
Strange Love premieres on Prime Video, February 14.
