Who is in the Last Shot poster?
The exclusive Last Shot poster features Emmy Award winner Jaime Pressly with a guitar on her lap, teasing her character’s musical abilities. Besides Pressly, the poster also shows former two-time NBA All-Star Baron Davis and Marshmallow star Dylan Friedman. The cast also includes Michael Rapaport (Atypical), Johnny Simmons (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Laraine Newman (Saturday Night Live), Wyatt Parker (A Friend of the Family), Caroline Valencia (The Slumber Party), and Lynn Favin (The Get Down).
Last Shot is directed by Andy Palmer, with Todd M. Friedman writing the screenplay. The movie is executive-produced by Charles Arthur Berg, David Gendron, Matthew Hillerud, Ali Jazayeri, Margarita Reyes, and Viviana Zarragoitia. Producers are Friedman, Pressly, Kelly Brown, and Warner Davis. The creative team consists of cinematographer Filip Vandewal, editor Stephanie Neroes, and composer Andrew Scott Bell.
“Hemlock Circle’s films have produced several films, but Last Shot is the most personal to me. Honestly, it’s a cathartic semi-autobiographical story that I wrote about the relationship between myself and my older son, who, at the time, was a club basketball standout similar to the Caden character in the film. I was the obnoxious father in the stands, making a fool of myself and embarrassing my son, just like Michael Rapaport’s character in the opening scene of the film. The fact that my younger son, Dylan, gets to play the role of his older brother makes the entire experience a truly full circle for me. I also felt that the club basketball world had never really been explored in film, and I saw an opportunity to bring audiences not only a touching story about love, loss, and redemption, but something original as well,” Friedman said in a statement.
“Hemlock Circle is extremely proud of this touching expose on the state of youth sports. This film is great for families and sports fans alike. It has something for everyone, especially those who are craving original content like most of us.”
