‘Life-affirming tale of family and love’ centers on a man (Hedlund) forced to get back in touch with his estranged family after his critically sick father (Jenkins) removes his own life support.
The film which explores the power of life and the reconnections between loved ones, Levitas will direct from his own screenplay.
Mimi Steinbauer, which Radiant Films International is shopping to foreign buyers at Cannes, said:
Andrea and Cary have assembled a truly stellar cast for this life-affirming tale of family and love. And in Andrew Levitas’ visionary hands, Lullaby will unquestionably an exciting film.
A nice mix of veterans and rising stars is set to shoot this June in New York City.
