"Going up against big-budget, blockbuster competition that offers a dark take on love, OLD FASHIONED puts romance and respect in the heart of relationships," said Producer Nathan Nazario. "Audiences are responding to OLD FASHIONED's simple message that chivalry is not dead, and real love is worth waiting for."

"These reactions confirm what we believed all along," OLD FASHIONED writer/director/lead actor Rik Swartzwelder said. "Films like FIFTY SHADES OF GREY may seduce some, but there are other moviegoers out there who long for tender, genuine romantic stories about real people with real problems... stories about romance that leads to love that is mutual, healing and lasting."

"OLD FASHIONED's preview weekend performance is a true David vs. Goliath story. Our counter- programming plan next weekend against 'Fifty Shades of Grey' is off and running!" said Mark Borde, co-president, Freestyle Releasing.

"These box office results show that a small independent film with the right message, can have an outsized impact," Producer Nathan Nazario said. "We all sensed there was a pent-up desire for a wholesome love story, and we're bringing it."

Synopsis: A romantic-drama, OLD FASHIONED centers on Clay Walsh (Swartzwelder), a former frat boy who gives up his carousing and now runs an antique shop in a small Midwestern college town. There, he has become notorious for his lofty and outdated theories on love and romance. When Amber Hewson (Elizabeth Ann Roberts), a free-spirited young woman with a restless soul, drifts into the area and rents the apartment above his shop, she finds herself surprisingly drawn to his noble ideas, which are new and intriguing to her. And Clay, though he tries to fight and deny it, simply cannot resist being attracted to her spontaneous and passionate embrace of life. Ultimately, Clay must step out from behind his relational theories, and Amber must overcome her own fears and deep wounds as the two of them, together, attempt the impossible: an "old-fashioned" courtship in contemporary America.
