EXCLUSIVE: Caylee Cowan (Willy’s Wonderland) and Brady Noon (The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers) have been tapped to lead Mother and Me, a psychological thriller marking the directorial debut of cinematographer Carson McKinnon, who also wrote the script.
The film tells the story of Casey (Cowan), a young woman confined to her home, living under the same roof as her mother. Struggling to write what’s poised to be a best-selling horror novel and living in the shadow of her late father, a renowned horror author, Casey grapples with the complexities of her relationship with her mother.
Appearing alongside Cowan and Noon, in the role of Mother, is newcomer Tara Janae Smith. Mother and Me will be produced by the Utah-based Rob Diamond Films (Love Everlasting) and the director’s banner, McKinnon Media.
Todd McKinnon is exec producing, with Samuel Goodrich, Seth Parkinson, and Kenadee Clark serving as associate producers. Production kicks off in Salt Lake City, UT in September.
