Marriott Content Studio has teamed up with the company’s flagship brand, Marriott Hotels to produce and release French Kiss, the studio’s second original short film.

The romantic mystery is set to premiere worldwide on May 19th in a multi-platform, all-screens distribution strategy, including digital, theater, in-room, online, Marriott.com, and to Marriott Reward members. A premiere party will be held at the Marina del Rey Marriott that evening.

Launched in September 2014, Marriott Content Studio is dedicated to publishing, distributing and sharing digital content across multiple platforms and on all screens.

French Kiss

French Kiss, starring Tyler Ritter (“The McCarthys”) is the result of a creative collaboration with noted producers and storytellers Ian Sander and Kim Moses of Sander / Moses & SLAM – the team behind popular television series such as “Ghost Whisperer” and “Profiler”, and four feature films, including “D.O.A”.

French Kiss is the second original short film from Marriott Content Studio coming on the heels of its debut film, Two Bellmen. Shot in and around Paris and at the Paris Marriott Hotel Champs-Elysees, French Kiss marks the studio’s first international production.

French Kiss follows a seemingly magical romance that could only happen in Paris. Ethan (Tyler Ritter) is a young American obsessed with work visiting the French capital to speak at an innovation conference at the Paris Marriott Hotel Champs Elysees.

Admired from afar by the gorgeous but mischievous Margaux (French model and actress Margot Luciarte), Ethan is tricked into following her string of clues throughout the city – forcing him to explore, imagine and literally see the magic of Paris through her eyes.

All the while, he wonders if his guide is real, or a mystical muse with magical powers that give him a glimpse of a life that seems like a dream. In the end, he finds out.

French Kiss premieres on YouTube May 19th.
