The film, written and directed by Danny Madden in its feature film debut and based on his short film Krista, chronicles the lives and trauma of three teenagers who live in a quiet southern town, and revolves around popular theater student Krista (Shirley Chen), attracted to Nito (Jose Angeles), a new high school student who caught their attention with its impressive attention-grabbing video skating. Without her knowledge, her life and that of her gun-loving neighbor Adam (Will Madden) are soon intertwined – until they reach a breaking point.
“This is a local project filmed with mom and dad in this classic call-in-all-the-favors process,” Madden wrote in a statement to ComingSoon.net. “I’m so proud of the performances and all the craft that people have put into it. We’re thrilled with the release and hope this film finds healthy living with others in the class of 2020. “
The cast for the film will be led by Shirley Chen (Speechless, parenting), Will Madden (The werewolf) and Jose Angeles (I hate the color red) and also includes Courtney Dietz (Queen America, the dirt), Daniel Rashid (Be frank), Anissa Matlock (Greenland, the gifted), Stephen Ruffin (Security, snowfall) and Chip Carriere (Contested).
