“Its super exciting to work again with Alex and Hunter, I am equally looking forward to film in Nevada thanks to Chris Ramirez and Lola Pictures,” says Naranjo. “I’ve always wanted to make a picture that would rely only on the performances, and thanks to the amazing young cast we’ve assembled, it seems like this is the one.”

“We are very excited to be back in business with Gerardo and thrilled to be a part of his English language debut with this phenomenal cast,” add Gray and Orlovsky of Verisimilitude.
