Set against the backdrop of rural farmland, our protagonist is (you guessed it) a farmer well-adapted to the certain way of life he has working in agriculture.

The feature will be directed by Jason Bateman (Arrested Development), who will produce alongside Michael Costigan (The Rosie Project), Elise Konialian, Anna Schwartz (Champions), Jeremy Plager (Suncoast) and Mark Berger (Of Mice and Men).
