EXCLUSIVE: Ansley Gordon (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Bret Green (Jane the Virgin) and Karen Abercrombie (War Room) are set to star in Mysteries of the Heart — the first Arizona-based original film from the L.A.-based Nicely Entertainment, also marking its first for Sony subsidiary, Pure Flix.
The faith-based film being directed by Brittany Goodwin (If You’re Gone) from Ansley Gordon’s script centers on her character Abby Brooks, a true-crime podcaster struggling to come to terms with the loss of her baby and her subsequent divorce. Moving back to her hometown, she quickly gets wrapped up in a mystery surrounding the untimely death of her eccentric neighbor. Following the clues left behind for her, Abby goes on a journey of faith, reconnection and adventure as she works with her childhood crush, Matt (Green), a local cop who has secretly had feelings for Abby for years, to solve the layered mystery.
Nicely Entertainment founder Vanessa Shapiro is serving as EP on the project, with the company’s newly installed Head of Production, David Hickey, producing. Gordon is repped by Mitchell & Associates Talent, Privilege Talent and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman; Green by Stagecoach Entertainment; Abercrombie by Houghton Talent and Treasure Coast Talent Agency; and Goodwin by Carolina Talent and Treasure Coast Talent Agency.
