Executive Producers are Taylor DiGilio, Sera Verdi, and Anthony Gudas. Brandon Auman penned the screenplay and is directing. Principal Photography recently wrapped in Rhode Island. 

Verdi President Chad A. Verdi said in a statement this morning: “Over the past several months, we at Verdi Productions have been working closely with Appian Way to assemble an exemplary cast for this project. Beverly, Justin, Mischa, and Lori are all superb additions that elevate Brandon’s strong script.” Verdi added, “The performances from the entire cast are simply mind-blowing.”
