HONEYSUCKLE

WC Entertainment Films is proud to announce the completion of “Honeysuckle”, a drama film. Story by William Brian Baker, screenplay by William Brian Baker and Alan Ray, directed by Alan Ray and William Brian Baker, director of photography and editing by Patrick Lipp. Starring William Brian Baker and an award-winning ensemble supporting cast.

Honeysuckle is an intimate 40-minute drama presented in immersive 2.39:1 CinemaScope, that follows Craig Mason, a man whose ordinary life in the 1970s is upended by profound grief when he tragically loses his young wife. Honoring her last wish, he travels alone to the honeymoon destination, arriving at the lowest point of his existence. In a moment of raw vulnerability, a fateful encounter in a shadowed alley changes him irrevocably transforming him immortal. In a cruel twist of irony, the event grants his wish for his “journey to end” while simultaneously thrusting him into an eternity of grief and a hunger he must hide in the shadows, freezing him in time while the world races forward.

By 2026, Craig remains immortal yet carries decades of weight: he struggles to secure steady work, and isolation compounds his unrelenting bloodlust. Surviving on the margins, he discovers a clever, modern method that lets him manage his bloodlust without harm, finally enabling him to abandon the shadows for a life lived in the open.

When a perceptive podcaster discovers he’s immortal and draws him into her world of online curiosity, Craig’s life explodes: he emerges as “Honeysuckle,” the enigmatic influencer and global celebrity whose immortality captivates millions. His new identity sky-rockets him from the starving shadows to a life of mansions and supercars, becoming a miracle icon for a digital age, granting the belonging he’s craved since the 1970s. Yet as the spotlight sharpens, one unguarded moment risks unraveling everything—threatening to drag his carefully constructed existence back into the shadows. Craig realizes he has merely traded one form of isolation for another. He exists within a gilded cage of enduring pain, living eternally out of time—seen by millions but truly known by no one.

This character-driven drama strips away genre clichés to explore enduring grief, the alienation of being out of sync with time, the seductive dangers of sudden visibility in the digital age, and the human ache for a place to finally rest. In the end, Honeysuckle reveals a tragic irony: even amid the mansions and supercars of a miracle icon, a profound isolation endures—the silent burden of never being able to reveal the real reason he does not age, a truth no spotlight can reach.

Honeysuckle is a poignant reminder that some losses echo forever, and celebrity cannot mend the fracture between who we are and who we must forever pretend to be.
