Scott Fitzgerald; Highston, a comedy which follows a 19-year old with a wide circle of celebrity friends that only he can see and featuring NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal and Flea (The Big Lewbowski); and western-themed Edge, based on George Gilman’s best-selling book series of the same name starring Max Martini (Pacific Rim, Captain Phillips) and Ryan Kwanten (True Blood).
Also on the docket are Good Girls Revolt, which follows a group of female journalists facing sexual discrimination in the late 1960’s; One Mississippi, executive produced by Louis CK (Louie) follows a young woman dealing with the complex reentry into her childhood hometown of Bay Saint Lucille, Mississippi; and Patriot, a political thriller that follows the life of an intelligent officer tasked with preventing Iran from going nuclear.
