Filming is currently underway on the dramatic movie Big Sky starring Disney Channel’s Bella Thorne along with Kyra Sedgwick, Frank Grillo, and Aaron Tveit. Jorge Michel Grau will be making his English-language directorial debut with the project set up at Manis Film.
“Big Sky is a suspenseful and thrilling story that will have audiences on the edge of their seats as our troubled characters tumble further into peril,” said Manis Film’s Randy Manis. “We are very excited to share the talent of our skilled director and the highly talented cast that he has attracted.”
Grau is directing from a script by Evan M. Wiener. Matthew Salloway and Christina Papagjika are producing, with Christine Vachon and Jeffrey V. Mandel executive producing.
The Big Sky Plot:
Big Sky is the tale of Hazel (Thorne), a teenage girl who suffers a mortal fear of open spaces. She never leaves her bedroom, which has put a strain on the relationship with her strung-out mom, Dee (Sedgwick), and is starting to take its toll on both of them. In a last ditch attempt to cure her daughter, Dee enrolls Hazel in a high-end treatment facility in the desert, hoping they will finally find the help they require so that Hazel can begin to move forward from the horrors of her past that triggered her illness.
But help is the last thing that they get. When two brothers, Jesse (Grillo) and Pru (Tveit), interfere with Hazel and Dee’s plans in the worst possible way, Hazel must confront her paralyzing fears before they consume her and is forced to fight for her survival in the harshest conditions, all while avoiding the cunning schemes hatched by Jesse.
