A Brand New You is a 2014 Canadian dark comedy film, directed by Kathryn Palmateer and Shawn Whitney, and starring Freya Ravensbergen, Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz, Clinton Lee Pontes and Vanessa Burns.

The film was described as "a low-key comedy about a widower (Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz) who enlists his roommates (Clinton Lee Pontes, Freya Ravensbergen) in a half-baked scheme to clone his dead wife".

In this quirky dark comedy Santiago Morales (Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz) a former engineer, is unable to come to terms with the passing of his wife Viviana (Dalal Badr) who has died of cancer.

Santiago is very particular and keeps things neat, tidy, and organized which leads to clashes with his housemate/landlord Murray (Clinton Lee Pontes) who is a total slob and spends most of his time in his underwear in the living room of the house surrounded by trash and clutter.

Laura has just lost her waitressing job and is unable to pay her debts so when presented with a relative financial windfall for her role, she reluctantly agrees to take part in the scheme to be the surrogate for their bizarro cloning experiment.

[2][3][4][5][6] Kathryn Palmateer a freelance photographer by trade and Shawn Whitney a filmmaker, writer and story editor are a married couple who were inspired to make A Brand New You for the opportunity to create together.

In his review for the NOW Magazine, Norman Wilner praised the cast: "the characters are so weirdly specific and the actors who play them so invested that it kind of works in spite of itself" he refers to the production quality's budget related shortcomings.
