"..considerable thesping talent and visual innovation in "We All Fall Down..." - Variety (Canada)

New York, NY (October 20, 2008) - Fans of "Trainspotting" and "Requiem For a Dream" will be enraptured by Michael Cummins' dark, psychological drama centering the downward spiral of drug abuse among a troubled circle of friends. Ryan Reynolds ("The Nines" "Van Wilder"), Barry Pepper ("Flags of Our Father" "The Green Mile"), award-winning actress Helen Shaver ("The Color of Money" "The L Word"), Rene Auberjonois ("Boston Legal" "Star Trek") star in "We All Fall Down" along with Darcy Belsher and Martin Cummins. The film depicts the story of doomed souls consumed in a destructive life of drug abuse, violent behaviors and toxic routines, which form their only escape from painful realities and despair. The film was the official selection at the Toronto International Film Festival and Vancouver International Film Festival and received critical acclaim for the casts' strong performances. Presented for the first time on DVD, Somerville House / Critical Mass and Koch Entertainment will release the disc on November 11, 2008 for a suggest retail price of $17.98

Director Martin Cummins accentuates the depth of despair in this powerful film as a group of young twenty-somethings find themselves barely surviving the seedy urban streets of Canada. The film was heralded by the Austin Chronicle as "...gorgeous, richly affecting film" and FilmThreat.com raved Darcy Belsher's performance stating "Belsher emerges as the most compelling reason to separate this film from its contemporaries."

In one of his early feature film roles, Ryan Reynolds plays the strung-out drug dealer, "Red Shoes" who keeps everyone high, while Helen Shaver plays "Sherry" the troubled prostitute who sells her body to pay for her toxic habits. Shaver garnered a Genie Award for "Best Supporting Actress" in the film. Acclaimed Writer/Director, Martin Cummins, also stars in the film as "Kris" the self-destructive artist who is completely consumed by his addition to crack and heroin.

Michael (Darcy Belsher) is a struggling actor whose drug abuse intensifies after the recent passing of his mother and can't quite get a grip on his life. As Michael turns to his best friend, Kris (Martin Cummins), the two continue their ruthless path of drugs, prostitutes and violence. Everyone's deadly routines eventually catch up with them producing uncanny consequences.

"We All Fall Down" -- Synopsis
Caught in the jagged downtown world of drugs, prostitutes and violence, three young artists lead tumultuous lives in desperate need of an overhaul. Relationships stumble as careers take flight. Support and friendship and slip into betrayal. For some, there is redemption and for others, death. The comedic, the pathetic, the talented and the ruined all walk the same raw streets in a gritty, sensitive and funny story of survival.

Bonus features include "The Making of We All Fall Down" and the original theatrical trailer. Distributed by Koch Entertainment and presented by Somerville House/Critical Mass "We All Fall Down" debuts on DVD November 11, 2008.
