To New Beginnings is a 2016 web-series that follows the lives of six very different individuals stuck in that space between knowing they need to make a change and actually doing so.
In season one, Leanne, Darren, Joshua, Sierra, Michelle and Roxie meet at a New Years Eve party that none of them particularly wanted to attend. After spending a few hours exchanging small talk with the other guest, looking busy on their phones and numbing their anxiety/boredom with a few drinks, these six strangers eventually find themselves bonding exceptionally well in a quiet corner. They part ways after the ball drops and exchange contact info. There is an unspoken understanding between the six that they won’t actually reconnect. Party goers never usually do.
But over the next couple of months, each of them realizes that they desperately want to recapture the ease, fun and newness of that night. Part one looks at each character’s life in the time in between the New Years Eve party and the reunion lunch they have two months later.
To New Beginnings stars India Burton, Anthony Covatta, Jessica Craig, Paul Duchow, Tamara French and Bridget Mabry. Written and directed by Jasmine A. Golphin
