Virginia Madsen, Vondie Curtis-Hall & Others Set For Steven Grayhm Indie ‘Sheepdog’
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Virginia Madsen (Sideways), Vondie Curtis-Hall (Harriet), Lilli Cooper (Broadway’s Tootsie), Dominic Fumusa (13 Hours) and Matt Dallas (Kyle XY) have signed on to star alongside Steven Grayhm in the indie drama Sheepdog, which Grayhm is directing from his own script.
The film going into production later this month in western Massachusetts tells the story of a therapy-averse combat veteran (Grayhm) who is court ordered into treatment after his plan to unite an ex-con and his daughter shows him that he must put himself back together first.
Exec produced by Joe Newcomb (Dallas Buyers Club) of Truth Entertainment, Sheepdog is a co-production with Grayhm’s Team House Studios, which two years ago premiered its indie thriller The Secret of Sinchanee at the UK’s Raindance Film Festival.
Joining Grayhm as producers are Lynn d’Angona and Ric Smith. Grayhm’s Team House will look, during the course of the shoot, to empower and train military vets both in front of and behind the camera, under its Veteran Initiative.
