PHOTOS: Elle’s 18th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute Written and directed by Sherrybaby filmmaker Laurie Collyer, the film follows a pregnant convenience store clerk (Watts) and her paraplegic boyfriend (Dillon) after she loses her job and they fall into poverty and homelessness.
“I was very excited to get a call to assist in the casting of Sunlight Jr for Unique Casting.” says Anthony Vincent Bova. ”I always appreciate the opportunity to get my actors to audition for such projects … especially when the audition is at Ionica Theatre. It’s home court advantage for my actors. We’ll see … the type they were looking for was very unique.
It should be a good film … and looking forward to seeing it - AVB
