Debut Drama Feature from Director Jess Dang and Executive Producer Andrea Bang Launches on North American VOD Platforms on July 14, 2026
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has just released the family drama feature SURRENDER -- now available on North American digital HD internet, DVD, cable, and satellite platforms starting on July 14, 2026. Supported by Film Independent and NewFilmmakers Los Angeles, SURRENDER screened at festivals including the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival.
In this poignant and gritty debut feature film, SURRENDER follows Naomi, a young Asian American woman whose life is disrupted by her secret gambling addiction. As she navigates her struggles, Naomi confronts feelings of denial and shame, which affect her relationships with family, colleagues, and herself. Ultimately, she reaches a breaking point and must decide between two paths: one of destruction or one of self-love.
Written and directed by Jess Dang, SURRENDER was produced by Dang, Jessica Olthof, and Darren Haruo Rae. Featured actors include Andrea Bang (Kim's Convenience) as Naomi, Fiona Fu (Lucky Lu) as June, Cici Lau (Interior Chinatown) as Gran Mi, and Keiko Agena (Gilmore Girls) as Margaret.
“SURRENDER is inspired by my own experience with gambling addiction and explores identity, family, and belonging through the lens of an Asian American woman navigating addiction,” said filmmaker Jess Dang. “At the heart of the film is a question: What generational stories do we inherit, and which ones do we choose to rewrite? My hope is that Surrender creates space for empathy and more honest conversations about the experiences we too often keep hidden."
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated a deal to acquire SURRENDER directly with the filmmakers and Dang’s production company, Long Lunch Break.
