QC Entertainment’s Sean McKittrick and Raymond Mansfield will produce the film, with Union joining QC’s Edward H. Hamm Jr. as exec producer.
Production is scheduled to commence in Victoria, BC, in association with British Columbia-based Lighthouse Pictures, on October 15. Jameson Parker will exec produce for Lighthouse Pictures. Atomic Honey is handling U.S. casting, alongside Kris and Kara Casting in Canada.
