Jonathan Bennett! His hair looks sexy pushed back! (Aka Aaron Samuels in Mean Girls).

I wonder if the environment is one of Mischa's passions- she's done a few movies along these lines now.

Here is a fuller synopsis:

Quote:

PRODUCED BY STORY KNIFE FILMS / LOCK&MONKEY PRODUCTIONS:
Synopsis: Jack (Daniel Ponickly, "Mona Lisa Smile", "Raw Cut") is a widower struggling with his continued depression as
he falls for Ruby (Antoinette Kalaj, "Riddick", "Don Jon"),
a passionate environmental engineering grad student
who is embroiled in a poisonous waste controversy.
Due to the encouragement of his sister (Mischa Barton,
"The OC", "The Sixth Sense"), Jack finally leaves his
Alaskan cabin for the first time in months and meets
Ruby, only to be confronted by her crazed ex-boyfriend,
Andrew (Jonathan Bennett, "Mean Girls", "Van Wilder").
Against the warnings of her mentor - Prof. Goodwell
(Billy Zane, "Titanic", "Big Kiss") - Ruby exposes the
city to an environmental crisis, thrusting her grant funding
- along with her doctoral research trip - into jeopardy.
As their friendship blooms into something deeper,
Ruby and Jack discover that love can be found anywhere,
even in Alaska.

This actually sounds pretty interesting. The "name" stars seem to be more supporting characters, but that was kind of expected considering the lightning fast shoot time.

I hope we get a trailer soon.

**Cristofle** · 03-02-2014, 06:30 AM

I'd like a trailer too- the synopsis is a little hard to wrap your head around, lol, I'd like to see an onscreen example.

A quote from the director, Zoe Quist.

“We got an extraordinary cast! Mischa Barton is an exquite human and talent, a true professional. Her model good looks only come second to her artistry as an actress. Jonathan Bennet brought dimensionality and humanity to a violent thug. Antoinette Kalaj maintained an easy beauty, even while digging in creeks. Daniel Ponickly gave so much of himself to the production, emotionally and physically; finding the honest humor and love in a dark and conflicted soul. Carrie Baker was a total find. A NYC trained actress with serious chops in the heart of Alaska. And Mr. Billy Zane who is nothing short of masterful, on and off screen. I'm so grateful to them all. ” -Zoe Quist (director)
