Julia Stiles, Alex Moffat, David Cross, Stephen Root & More Wrap On Indie Comedy ‘Unbearable Christmas’ From Kevin Cate
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Indie filmmaker Kevin Cate has wrapped on the Georgia production of his debut feature, the holiday road trip comedy Unbearable Christmas.
Principal cast for the film includes Julia Stiles (Chosen Family), Alex Moffat (SNL), Caroline Rhea (Sabrina the Teenage Witch), David Cross (Arrested Development), Stephen Root (Barry), Mena Suvari (American Beauty), Kennedy Moyer, and Ben Lewis Doherty (Task).
