Chad Allen and Margot Kidder Star in on The Other Hand, Death: A Donald Strachey

New York, NY - here! Films along with Liberation Entertainment will release On the Other Hand, Death: A Donald Strachey Mystery to DVD on February 24, 2009 priced at $24.95. The third installment in the franchise once again stars Chad Allen as the gay private investigator and co-stars screen legend Margot Kidder (Superman). Directed by Emmy® award nominated Ron Oliver ("Degrassi: The Next Generation," "Queer as Folk") On the Other Hand, Death delves into gay hate crimes and the difficulties faced by the LGBT community.

On the Other Hand, Death begins with Dorothy (Kidder) and Edith (Gabrielle Rose) sleeping in each other's arms on the second floor of their long-time farmhouse. Downstairs, a shadowy figure breaks through the glass door. When Edith goes to investigate the noise, she discovers graffiti sprawled across the walls. The hateful message reads "DYKES GO HOME."

After speaking with their neighbors, Donald discovers that Dorothy and Edith rejected a developer's over-priced bid for their property. Everyone else in the neighborhood wanted desperately to sell their homes, and Edith would have sold as well, but Dorothy wanted to keep her home of nearly forty years rather than make money for corporate profit. Meanwhile, things get complicated when Donald's partner Tim gets a surprise visit from his sexy and charming ex-boyfriend Andrew, who happens to be a good friend of Dorothy. Andrew makes a pass at Donald and challenges Donald's loyalty to Tim. Andrew's presence puts Donald and Tim's commitment to the test.

On the Other Hand, Death premiered on here! TV July 25, 2008. The series already produced two successful films and has drawn interest from well-known stars of film, television and stage to star in supporting roles, including Sean Young in Third Man Out and Morgan Fairchild in Shock to the System. The fourth installment in the franchise is titled Ice Blues and co-stars Sherry Miller (Queer as Folk).
