Tony Nominee Brian J. Smith to Star in Independent Film THE PASSING SEASON
Brian J. Smith (The Glass Menagerie, The Columnist, Come Back Little Sheba) has signed on to star in the independent feature The Passing Season. Gabriel Long is making his feature debut, directing the script he co-wrote with Matthew-Lee Erlbach. Rebecca Atwood will produce. Shooting is set for this month in Rhode Island. Smith will play "Sam," a professional hockey player whose career comes to an abrupt end. He returns to his hometown, reconnects with a group of high school friends, and attempts to escape into an earlier, simpler time in his life.
Smith's performance in The Glass Menagerie earned him a Tony nomination. He is currently appearing as one of the stars of Sense8, Netflix's sci-fi series that premiered earlier this month to rave reviews.
Also set are Gayle Rankin (Cabaret, The Mystery of Love and Sex), Patrick Murney (The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner), Elizabeth Alderfer (The Good Wife), and Nick Choksi (Brooklynite, Indian Ink, Bunty Berman Presents...).
