Kate decides to run for First Lady on the ticket with VP Brooks and prevent the ditzy wife of their competitor (Christiansen) from destroying the dignity of FLOTUS. Meanwhile, Kate is unaware of a former teenage beau, now the king of a foreign nation (Bernsen), who comes to the White House in an effort to win her heart and present her with a much better proposal than she ever expected! She is torn between a promise and her calling. This modern fairytale about an autumn romance with a twist will inspire and entertain the whole family. Writer and director Nina May believes that audiences yearn for stories for the entire family and that harken back to a nostalgic genre of romantic comedy. "I wanted to create a film that would offer tender moments and humor for the entire family but with a political setting," says May. "We see two people who reunite later in life and discover it's not too late for their 'happily ever after' but we also experience a light-hearted comedy about The White House and palace intrigue." FIRST LADY is rated PG (thematic elements) and directed, produced and written by Nina May. The film is distributed by ArtAffects Entertainment.
