Given Life Now on TUBI

If you’re feeling nostalgic for those 1980s made-for-television-movies, you can absorb a 110-minute fix for free on TUBI with Given Life, an independent where my supporting role serves mostly the last ten minutes of the film. These low-budget features can be interesting as budgetary restrictions allow only for a couple takes. So, whatever bizarre choices I made for this twisted character were retained in the final film.

Given Life was the last feature in 2019 that I worked on before the pandemic brought down the anvil. I was also working in Alice Spivak’s final stage production. It’s interesting recalling Given Life’s locations on Greenpoint Ave. in Long Island City so immediately and knowing no one had yet ever heard of COVID.

For a quick lesson in marketing between different platforms, compare the gory TUBI poster used as the feature image in this news entry against the production company’s original poster below:
