Ambitious director B. Skow has a new movie queued up for September, which he describes thusly: "The movie that I'm working on and editing right now is a Jessie Andrews thing, Gardener," Skow said. "It's about a girl who's kidnapped at a young age and kept confined until she was an adult, and about a guy who's obsessed with growing flowers. … It's based on the story of the girl from Northern California [Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was kidnapped at age 11], but I didn't want to criticize that person or be rude to that girl, what she went through, so it's totally imaginary.”
What really excites Skow is the cast. Opposite Andrews, "Kurt Lockwood plays the insane guy; he's playing a really different character than you've ever seen him," Skow said. "It's fun and it's different, and the cast is amazing. Jessie Andrews was good … she's a great face actor; she's really artistic. She was amazing to work with; she had a great eye for things, and she was really into it, so it was fun. It also had all the girls I like to use right now. The best of the best right now are in that movie."
The Gardener also features A.J. Applegate, Karla Kush, Maddy O’Reilly, Nadia Styles, Darla Crane and Alec Knight, and it will street in September with distribution by Girlfriends Films.
