LOS ANGELES—Next Door Studios has announced its newest release, "Enlisted," from its Next Door Films line.
"Enlisted" stars Next Door exclusive models Brandon Anderson and Nico Coopa as lifelong pals who are forced to come to terms with unresolved feelings when one of the two joins the military. Carter Woods also appears in a guest starring role.
Writer Dalton King stated, “I think this is one of the most heartfelt films we’ve done so far. Nico Coopa and Brandon Anderson are incredible at portraying the nuanced emotions of a love left unsaid. Everyone’s gonna love this movie.”
Coopa enthused, “So excited for the release of 'Enlisted.' It's a great scene and very much a pleasure to work on. Casting did a great job with these roles! Great guys, and effortlessly solid chemistry between Brandon, Carter and me during filming.
“Fantastic writing for this one too! It was really exciting (and daunting) to plumb some emotional depths in a role. Having your only-too-recently requited love leave for war is some heavy business with a lot of complicated emotions to try to convey. I hope I did it some justice. I know my costars did a really stellar job doing just that (while being totally smolderingly sexy at the same time). Can’t wait to see the finished film!”
“Our brand is such a great platform for us to bring gay characters and stories to life, and 'Enlisted' is one of our most genuine tales so far,” said Jeremy Babcock, CCO of Next Door parent company Alpha Studio Group. “This thoughtful journey from friendship to attraction is magically brought to life by Brandon and Nico. Really great acting from both of them.”
“It was a pleasure getting the opportunity to work with both of those guys out there,” said Anderson. “It was hot I remember, and lots of water was needed by everyone. Everyone did well to remember their own lines and things just kinda unfolded into place. I recall pulling some improv out while we were outside sitting at the table. Overall, it was a fun scene.”
"Enlisted" is now on the Next Door Studios website.
In other news, the studio's next scene, “Fraternity Fantasies: Blue Balled Frat Boys,” starring Next Door exclusive Andrew Miller and Ty Santana, drops on Feb. 25, 2023.
