CASSIDY WAY is a new psychological thriller based on true events that follows the horrifying tale of young documentary filmmakers who get too close to the truth behind fracking in a small town in central California.
The Lying Games’ Randy Wayne, Nashvilles’ Michael Nardelli, Nikki Moore (Sorority Row) and Christopher Rich (Reba) lead the cast of CASSIDY WAY. Film Producer and Special Effects Producer, Harvey Lowry (NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTONS, APOCALYPTO) makes his directorial debut.
“We’re thrilled to have assembled such a powerfully dynamic cast and crew under the direction of Special FX mastermind Harvey Lowry,” said cowriter and producer of the film Ken Sax. “We’re putting together a feature that is not only entertaining, but commercially viable and informative on a global scale.”
Penned by Ken Sax and Neal Blakemore, CASSIDY WAY is a gut-wrenching thriller based on true events, that follows a college senior, Gina (Nikki Moore) and her two friends, Collin (Randy Wayne) and Mitch (Michael Nardelli), as they set out to make Gina’s thesis documentary film on a fracking company and the controversy surrounding it in a small town. During their filming, the trio cross paths with local resident Donald Connors (Christopher Rich), and discover the fracking company is responsible for the death of his young son. When Donald suspects they are working with the fracking company, they learn just how far a man driven to madness will go to protect his family. At Donald’s hands, Gina, Colin and Mitch experience a horror they never could have imagined, finding themselves trapped in the same downward spiral that has plagued the town’s residents for over a decade.
Stan Shaw (Harlem Nights & Snake Eyes), Lisa Long (General Hospital), Sydney Sweeny (The Bling Ring), Rene Ashton (Criminal Minds), Thyme Lewis (Days of Our Lives), Devin Reeve (Femme Fatales) and Australia’s David Jones-Roberts (Home and Away) round out the cast.
With an award-winning Special Effects team that includes EFX artist Jerry Constantine (CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, WATCHMEN, SMALL APARTMENTS), Constantine FX and Lowry directing at the helm, CASSIDY WAY aims to enhance the moviegoer’s experience, bringing the audience and the action on the screen closer together.
“I’m extremely humbled to be working with such talented and dedicated filmmakers who all have the same goal in mind: reaching audiences around the world with an incredible story,” said director Harvey Lowry. “CASSIDY WAY is going to take anyone who sees it on a wild ride, giving them a glimpse into terrifying situations that effect real people.”
