Queen Charlotte’s India Amarteifio and Maxton Hall’s Damian Hardung have been cast in Into The Deep Blue, a coming-of-age drama to be directed by Jonathan Wright (Awakening The Zodiac), per Deadline.
The film is written by novelist Jennifer Archer. Into The Deep Blue follows “Nick (Hardung) and Fiona (Amarteifio), best friends who met in group therapy and are struggling to piece their lives together after experiencing loss. The last thing they need is to fall in love. When a weekend trip brings their deepening feelings to the surface, they might sooner cut each other off than face them.”
“We are thrilled to bring together such a fabulous cast for this remarkable script,” said producer Aletha Shepherd. “It’s such a joy working with such talents, especially when we know we have something truly special on our hands. We are excited to find the right home and partner to make sure this film garners the success it deserves.”
Archer’s script was chosen for the 2022 Nicholl Fellowship award of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It will be produced by Shepherd and Jennifer Presser for Shot of Tea with production taking place in the UK.
