Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Independent, Casting, Trailers, Upcoming Releases

As you can see in the trailer, the producers have relied on very little words - and many images of Jessica - to draw you into the story. (In case the quick edits had you wondering, that was an egg you saw cracked on Biel’s chest.)
