LOS ANGELES — Wicked Films has premiered director Eddie Nova’s 1970s-set comedy “Sunny Goldmelons.”
The feature follows the adventures of the titular character (Melody Marks), a rural girl from Roosterpoot, Arkansas, as she heads to Los Angeles in search of stardom.
“Sunny Goldmelons” co-stars Chanel Camryn, Nathan Bronson and Robby Apples, and also features Nicole Doshi, Savvy Suxx, Charles Dera and Tommy Pistol.
Nova said, “Melody Marks literally became Sunny Goldmelons, capturing all of the sweet innocence and wide-eyed naiveté I wrote into the character and more. I'm so grateful for all of the love Melody put into bringing Sunny to life. It's one thing to write a character, but it's a whole other thing to see someone interpret it, flesh it out and give it life. Melody is an exceptional actress.”
According to Nova, Camryn stole the show as comedy villain Marlene Thornbush, Sunny’s scheming “best friend,” whose devious plans lead the protagonist on a cross-country adventure filled with laughter, love and revelations.
“Melody and Chanel played so well off of each other,” Nova enthused. “I have my fingers crossed that the movie is a success so I can bring the two of them back for a sequel.”
Nova also praised the male leads.
“Nathan Bronson is also a natural at comedy, and his Luke Butterbean fell into some sweet spot in between ‘Tombstone’ and ‘Three Amigos’,” he remarked. “And Robby Apples, as sweet '70s pimp Lorenzo Flambeau, was a showstopper. I loved how Robby got into the role, reminding himself, ‘Everything is delicious to a pimp.’ He played Lorenzo absolutely delicious.”
