The Gist: An adaptation of Andrea Portes’ novel, this coming-of-age story about 13 year old Nebraska girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) on the road. Whatever is thrown at young Luli only makes her stronger and more defiant, and yet somehow she is able to remain undefeated and undeterred from her goal for a better life.
Director: Derick Martini (Lymelife)
Sales Agent: CAA/WME
Selling Point/Suited For: Derick Martini’s debut film was an especially strong with believable, mature well-rounded and written characters, and perhaps the book as a built in audience, but distributors will be looking beyond the allure of the two girls and a gun, coming of age road-trip premise and instead discern the potential return on a Chloe Moretz and Blake Lively combo.
