The new feature film “A Murder Between Friends,” starring Joan Collins (“Dynasty”), Nadia Bjorlin (“Days of our Lives”), and “All My Children” alums Jacob Young and Trent Garrett, among others, is now available as a VOD release on most major streaming and cable platforms across the United States and Canada.
Written and executive produced by Mark Rozzano, the Agatha Christie-style murder mystery follows six friends vacationing at the country estate of a legendary true crime TV star (Collins). Of course, the last thing they expect is to find one of their own murdered. With everyone a suspect, they try to determine who among them has the means, motive, and opportunity. As tensions grow, they enlist the aid of their celebrity sleuth hostess to uncover the truth before the killer can strike again.
Shot over two weeks at Úsobí Castle in the Czech Republic, the playful whodunnit features twists and turns built to keep audiences guessing until the very end.
Additional cast includes Toby-Alexander Smith (“EastEnders”), Simon Cotton (“Emmerdale”), India Thain (“Sharknado 5: Global Swarming”), Czech actress Hana Vagnerová (“Borders of Love”), Broadway actor Jim Borstelmann (“The Producers,” “Chicago”), and social media influencer Espen Hatleskog.
The film was co-directed by Young and Garrett, who also serve as producers alongside Collins, Percy Gibson and Toby-Alexander Smith.
“Just when you think you have it figured out, this clever murder mystery throws you for a loop – over and over again. The iconic Joan Collins elevates this whodunnit with authenticity and humor for a suspense-filled ride,” said Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films, the company that spearheaded the VOD release through a deal with Scott J. Jones and Artist View Entertainment.
“As a lifelong fan of Agatha Christie and TV detectives like Columbo, I wrote the character of sleuth ‘Francesca Carlyle’ specifically for my longtime friend and favorite actress Joan Collins, as a glamorous version of ‘Miss Marple,'” said Rozzano. “I was so fortunate to assemble an all-star cast of friends, who also happen to be the best from Hollywood, London, and Broadway.”

“I couldn’t be more excited for audiences to finally experience this film. This project has been incredibly meaningful to me, not only as a producer and director, but also stepping in front of the camera after a long hiatus as an actor,” added Young. “Working side by side with executive producer and my dear friend Mark Rozzano was a true labor of love from start to finish. Working alongside my talented co-star and longtime friend of 25 years [Nadia Bjorlin] made the journey even more special.”
