A semi-autobiographical tale, the film is produced by Julio Lopez Velazquez (“Buck Run”) and John Reyes Doyle (“On Our Way”) via Tomorrowland Productions. Co-producing are Eugene Koh (“Feeling Through”) and Giulianno Lopez.
Grey is represented by Gva Talent Agency and Zero Gravity Management. Her additional credits include “The Alienist” and “How to Get Away With Murder.
