EXCLUSIVE: Production has wrapped in Los Angeles on Red Flags, an indie rom-com starring Vanessa Simmons (Deadly Entanglement) and Melyssa Ford (Trapped in the Spotlight).
The film’s ensemble also features Travis Cure (Tyler Perry’s The Oval) and newcomer Jamy Pierrevil (Young. Wild. Free.)
Written by Roni Davis and directed by Caleb Davis, the film follows Ryan (Simmons), a bride-to-be whose wedding day unravels when her fiercely loyal best friend (Ford) uncovers a shocking secret about the groom (Cure). What begins as a celebration turns into a chaotic, heartfelt reckoning with friendship, trust, and the red flags we ignore in the name of love.
