Casey Calvert, Lumi Ray Co-Star in Holly Randall Productions’ Debut Featurette ‘Hopeless’
LOS ANGELES — Holly Randall Productions has debuted its first-ever featurette, “Hopeless,” co-starring Casey Calvert and Lumi Ray.
The title was directed by Jeffrey John Hart, who co-wrote it with editor Kyle McQueen. Amber Guerra co-produced and managed art direction.
Calvert and Ray play best friends whose relationship metamorphoses into something unexpected when one turns to the other for comfort after a painful breakup.
“For our first featurette for Holly Randall Productions, we’ve created an independently produced movie at a very grassroots level,” said Randall of the production, which also features Ivy Wolfe and Codey Steele. “Over the years that we’ve worked together, I saw how talented Jeff was, and I wanted to give him an opportunity to showcase his passion and talent for filmmaking. And I think it really shows in this film.”
Hart enthused, “Most of the projects I’ve been involved in over the past few years, I felt like both my hands were tied behind my back; collaborating with Holly has been amazing. With ‘Hopeless,’ we set out to do whatever we wanted with no restrictions.
“Having Casey and Lumi out front with Holly, Amber and Kyle getting my back, I think we achieved something special,” Hart added. “I got to tell the story the way I wanted to and I didn’t have to answer to anyone. That’s what filmmaking should be.”
