If you think Maine is all about clam chowder, maple syrup and their jagged coastline -- well, think again? In this trailer for the new indie drama "Beneath The Harvest Sky," The Pine Tree State gets painted in a completely different light, exposing the seedy underbelly of a dying industrial northern town that's facing a rising drug problem.
Here, Irish actor Aidan Gillen (better known as Littlefinger on HBO's Game of Thrones) puts on his best New England accent, playing a two-bit crook who offers his potato-farming son to join his growing drug-dealing business. A tempting proposition since his son (played by up-and-comer Emory Cohen) spends most of his free time griping about his questionable future to his equally unhappy best friend (Great Gatsby's Callan McAuliffe). However, accepting such an offer will undoubtedly change the lives of everyone involved.
Written and directed by former-documentarians Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly, "Beneath The Harvest Sky" will be premiering at next month's Toronto International Film Festival.
synopsis:
The story of Casper (Emory Cohen) and Dominic (Callan McAuliffe): two best friends that are fiercely loyal to one another, as they come of age in a small farming town in Maine. During harvest break, Casper is drawn into smuggling drugs across the Canadian border with his outlaw father, Clayton (Aidan Gillen). Meanwhile, Dominic works his final potato harvest, hoping to earn the money he needs to buy a car and take them away towards a better future. But with Casper's life unraveling before their eyes, their friendship and loyalty are put to the test as they are forced to mature and make very adult decisions that will forever alter the course of their lives.
