Paris Pickard and Dreya Weber sweat it out in A Marine Story.

Issued on DVD and Blu-ray on March 15, 2011, from Wolfe Video, the acclaimed 2010 film A Marine Story concerns female Marine officer Alexandra Everett, a closeted lesbian who has served four deployments in Iraq. After implications of her lifestyle are made, she must choose between a hearing to contend that she’s not gay or an honorable discharge. She takes the discharge, a victim of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

The winner of the best United States feature award at the Outfest in Los Angeles, A Marine Story was Wolfe’s first Blu-ray release.

The movie was written, directed and edited by Ned Farr (The Gymnast) and stars his real-life wife, hard-bodied actress/aerialist Dreya Weber as Alex, who got discharged from the Marines and returns to her conservative California hometown. Also starring is Paris Pickard as a rebellious 20-year-old woman named Saffron who Alex agrees to coach and counsel prior to her entry into boot camp as a Marine recruit. Though adversarial at first, when the two women are together, they begin to bring out the best in each other.

A Marine Story is the first acting role for Pickard, who also co-produced the film, but she has been active in Hollywood, including working in the art department for Death at a Funeral and Burlesque.

Bonus materials on the DVD and Blu-ray include the following:

  • commentary
  • deleted scenes
  • behind-the-scenes slideshow
  • and public service announcements featuring Weber.

The DVD and Blu-ray discs carry list prices of $24.95 and $29.95.
