An Independent Urban Comedy being Filmed in Detroit

DETROIT - Jan. 29, 2015 - PRLog -- An innovative independent romantic comedy “Stay in Your Place”  is currently being filmed and produced in Detroit, Michigan, by The Shoe Lady Productions and So Real Entertainment. “Stay in Your Place” is based on the bestselling book entitled ‘A Ho Needs to Stay in a Ho's Place’, which was transformed into a groundbreaking stage play. “Stay in Your Place” was written by Tonja ‘The Shoe Lady’ Ayers who is also the Executive Producer of this film along with her Co-Executive Producer Mi'kiel Los CEO of So Real Investment Group, LLC.

After two sold out shows, the stage play received blazing reviews and accolades.There was a huge thrust of energy to take “Stay in Your Place” to the next level and a broader audience by making an independent film. The audience loved the story line of the married; wanna be player Deshawn, and his awkward attempt of juggling his wife and ‘side pieces’, aka, women on the side. With the recent revitalization in Detroit’s entertainment industry, it is the perfect time and location for such an edgy yet comical urban production. The independent film showcases Detroit’s best theatrical and production talent.

Tonja ‘The Shoe Lady’ Ayers, a seasoned entrepreneur, also owns Emperial Publishing, a subsidiary company of The Shoe Lady Productions, where Ms. Ayers has utilized her not so traditional and often thought provoking writing wit to pen such self help books as Is Your Man Gay?, Cheaters: The Who What When Where & Why of Cheating, Stand by Your Brand, How to Start Your Own Business, as well as her first novel ‘The Apple Don't Fall Far From The Tree’. In addition to Ms. Ayers, Emperial Publishing has published several other Detroit based authors. When asked why Ms. Ayers spelled ‘Emperial’ incorrectly with an ‘e’ she stated, “Because I plan on building an empire, one book at a time.” All books are available in local bookstores, Audible.com and Amazon.com.

“Stay in Your Place” went into production on Saturday January 10, 2015. Directed by Melissa Talbot and Co-directed by Don Snipes, who both believe the project should be ready for theaters premiering in the fall of 2015.
