Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Halsey is set to make her acting debut in Bron Studios’ National Anthem, starring alongside Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria), Paul Walter Hauser (Richard Jewell), Simon Rex (Red Rocket), Toby Huss (Dickinson), Gavin Maddox Bergman, Harriet Sansom Harris (Desperate Housewives) and newcomer Derek Hinkey.
The feature directorial debut of Tony Tost (Damnation), National Anthem “revolves around a gritty hunt for a valuable rare Lakota Native American Ghost Shirt. Some are hunting for fortune, others for personal freedom, while others simply want to return it properly to its home. No longer will the marginalized be ignored — all must learn to survive or else.”
“I am truly honored to have the opportunity to bring National Anthem to life on film, and to work with Page Fifty-Four Pictures, Bron Studios and this incredible cast,” says Tost. “I’m especially thrilled to be bringing to the screen a vision of modern rural America that pays tribute to the myths of the West while also radically reinventing them.”
“We are thrilled to be working with Tony – as well as Alex, Sydney, Paul, Halsey and the rest of this great cast – on his vision of this inspirational and personal story of self-redemption and survival,” said Bron Studios’ Aaron L. Gilbert, who is producing alongside Alex Saks of Page Fifty-Four. “I can’t imagine a more talented group of actors to personify the grit and vulnerability of these characters. The emotional transformations will be extraordinary.”
