    A little about the movie.
    Freewheeling distiller Terry wrangles his brother Tobin into one of his poorly planned schemes; a show focused on wine, whiskey and food. Tobin is frustrated when Terry shows up with a film crew comprised of eccentric personalities armed with dubious abilities. Meanwhile, Sly Fox, Tobin's biggest competitor for the coveted Golden World Wine Award is cleverly plotting to steal the prestigious award and break his multi year winning streak.

    More about Brian A. Metcalf

    Born in Seoul, South Korea, Brian A. Metcalf (WGA, PGA, DGA, VES, ASCAP) is an Asian-American, award-winning filmmaker (writer, director, producer and actor). He has worked with such talent as Academy Award® Nominee Mickey Rourke, Academy Award® Nominee Sean Astin, Golden Globe® Nominee Lou Diamond Phillips, Golden Globe® Nominee Penelope Ann Miller, Primetime Emmy® Nominee John Heard, Kiefer Sutherland, Tom Arnold, David Henrie, William Sadler, Mark Pellegrino, Michael Madsen, James Russo, Thomas Ian Nicholas and more. He previously worked as a creative director, writer, photographer, visual effects artist and supervisor on games, DVDs, web, EPKs, music videos, film and documentaries for all the major studios.
    In December 2022, Variety announced Metcalf was writing, producing, directing, show-running and starring in a new comedy TV series called "UNDERDEVELOPED." Metcalf and the cast promoted the show in a panel at San Diego Comic Con. In July 2023, Deadline announced that the show was being distributed by Tubi for a September 8th release.
    Before that, Brian produced, directed, wrote and acted in the crime thriller/drama "ADVERSE," distributed by Lionsgate. The film premiered as the opening film at the prestigious Fantasporto Film Festival and went on to win a number of awards, including a Platinum Remi Award from Worldfest. Variety's Joe Leydon said about the film that "Writer-director Brian A. Metcalf's indie offering boasts some impressive rough stuff and a surprisingly affecting turn by Mickey Rourke." The New York Times listed the film as one of their top 5 action films to watch for stating "The veteran ensemble in Brian A. Metcalf's visceral Los Angeles-set crime thriller supplies plenty of firepower in a bloody revenge narrative that sees Ethan deliciously hammering his enemies with a crowbar."
    Before "ADVERSE," Brian made the mockumentary comedy/horror "LIVING AMONG US," distributed by Sony Pictures and Fox International. Both film scripts along with 2 others (4 total) were placed into the permanent core collection at the Margaret Herrick Library by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
    Metcalf received a scholarship and was accepted into Sundance Co//ab TV writing classes under the instructions of Angela LaManna and Peter Biegen.
    Metcalf continues to develop numerous projects for film, television, multimedia with his own company, Black Jellybeans which is located on the Warner Bros. lot. He lives in Los Angeles.

  • Arianna Grace: How Advocating for Mental Health Lead to a Very Special Film

    Learn more about Arianna Goarley here: http://ariannawithgrace.com/

    Award-winning teen actress, writer, producer and director Arianna Goarley is based in Toronto, Ontario and has appeared/voiced multiple theatre, film and television productions including "Matilda" (Moving Art Centre), Holly Hobbie (Hulu/Family Channel), My Dance Teacher Is a Vampire (Cinethetica) and Milk Kids (Messy Pictures). She began her career performing in Musical Theatre productions during which time she developed an instant passion for the art of storytelling. Following on-camera acting lessons, Arianna began auditioning for commercials, and her love for the industry blossomed during an appearance on Universal Kids NBC's The Big Fun Crafty Show. While continuing to pursue student and independent projects, Arianna realized that she enjoyed being both in front of, and behind, the camera. As a result, Arianna founded her own production company, With Grace Productions, and has already written, produced and directed several films. Arianna's work on both sides of the camera has earned her multiple award wins including Nova Star Awards 2022 - Best Ensemble 11-15 (Children of Arcand); Nova Star Awards 2021 - Best Ensemble 12-14 (My Dance Teacher is a Vampire) and Best Filmmaker 10-13 (My Dance Teacher is a Vampire); her award nominations include Nova Star Awards 2023 - Best Young Director/Filmmaker (The Tea Party); Fentress Student Film Fest Best Director and Best Female Student Filmmaker (Sara Snow and the Seven Dancers); Daytime Emmy Awards - Outstanding Preschool Children's Series (The Big Fun Crafty Show).
    Since being diagnosed with ADHD/Generalized Anxiety several years ago, Arianna has used her talent, experience and creativity to break down barriers and stigmas about neurodivergence, and to heighten mental health awareness with an emphasis on ADHD and anxiety disorders. Her latest film, The Tea Party, which Arianna wrote (at age 15), produced and directed, is an innovative reimagining of the tea party scene from "Alice in Wonderland." A fresh take on the popular fable, the story is told from the perspective of a young Alice who suffers from ADHD. Arianna continues to advocate for mental health and neurodiversity, which led to the writing of this very special film. "The Tea Party" made its world premiere screening debut at the TLC Chinese Theatre in Hollywood during the 2023 DANCES WITH FILMS: LA Festival, and has been featured on CTV News: Barrie twice, as well as the Canadian variety-talk show EveRIAthing.
    Arianna also wrote, produced and directed the film Sara Snow and the Seven Dancers which follows classically trained ballerina Sara Snow's unjust dismissal from her studio which sets her on a path of reinvention and empowerment. Supported by her friend Mia, Sara is introduced to seven diverse dancers who help awaken her to the beauty in movement and self-expression. It is a film about self-discovery, breaking down barriers and stigmas, and self-acceptance.
    Arianna's training includes classes at LeBlanc School of Acting, Moving Art Centre for Performing Arts, The Second City Toronto, Armstrong Acting Studios and Drayton Entertainment. In addition to writing, producing, directing and acting, Arianna is also a skilled dancer, singer, and puppeteer. When not working, she enjoys history, figure-skating, roller-skating, downhill skiing, skateboarding, longboarding and trampoline. Arianna is the founder of Club Etre Canada and a proud member of Kids T.O. Kids Runway of Hope.
    Arianna is represented by Alicia Faucher at Element Artist Management in Toronto / 416.538.6888 and her publicity is handled by NoodleHead Productions.
