Posted By: mark harris on January 08, 2008 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 1555 FILMWORKS ANNOUNCES A NEW INDEPENDENT FILM TITLED “I USED TO LOVE HER” *** Chicago, Illinois – January 4, 2008 - From Mark Harris, the director of Blockbuster Video’s “Why Men Cheat” and Indican Pictures’ “Cut N It Up”, comes his latest film “I Used To Love Her” , an Urban love story starring stage and spoken word artist, Mel “Mel-Rob” Roberson and Toya Turner as two star-crossed lovers whose worlds collide when a fateful meeting brings them together. When this film comes out in the Spring of 2008, it will be the movie that every celebrity, future star, and “average Joe” will relate to and talk about for quite some time. “I Used To Love Her” is a dramedy that contains faith-based elements against a hip hop, hard-core street backdrop mixed with a little neo-soul. Turner plays Simee Smith, a pop singer who has lost her morals in the music industry. When fed up with what her life has turned into in Hollywood, Ca, she heads back to her hometown Chicago . While restoring her self worth and respect, Simee falls in love with a man by the name of Ramadan (played by Roberson) who is in strong contrast to her type, but much needed for her growth as a new woman. Life gets better and better, but you cannot run from your past forever. Everything comes to light. Now will her history ruin her future? “I Used To Love her” is inspired by the classic first single from “Resurrection”, the sophomore album from award winning artist Common, who is now one of Hollywood ’s emerging stars. The cast of “I Used To Love Her” is rounded out by Tiffany J. Curtis (“A Get2Gether”, “Love Relations”), who plays Celine and has a cult following from her days on the dramatic television series “The Awakenings”, Lil Rel (“Last Comic Standing”, “Who’s Got Jokes” and “Cut N It Up”) a stand up comedian who took the Jamie Foxx route in “I Used To Love Her” to sit his comedy aside in order to take a much serious role as Country, Simeon Henderson (“Partyline”, “Subtle Seduction”) who plays Terrence, Ramadan’s brother and Sheree Bynum, Jaci Williamson, Ruby Gonzalez, Dori King, and comedians Damon Williams and BLT.
