Into the Deep | Official Trailer | Sky Cinema
EXCLUSIVE: India Amarteifio (Queen Charlotte) and Damian Hardung (Maxton Hall – The World Between Us) have signed on to star in the coming-of-age drama Into The Deep Blue.
The film’s script, by author and novelist Jennifer Archer, was selected for the 2022 Nicholl Fellowship by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The story follows Nick (Hardung) and Fiona (Amarteifio), best friends who met in group therapy and struggle to rebuild their lives after experiencing loss. The synopsis reads: The last thing they need is to fall in love. When a weekend getaway brings their deepest feelings to the surface, they might end up cutting each other off rather than facing them.
The film is being directed by Jonathan Wright (Awakening the Zodiac) and will shoot in the UK. It will be produced by Aletha Shepherd and Jennifer Presser of production company Shot of Tea. Singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter was previously rumored to star, but we understand she is no longer attached to the project.
