Star of SyFy’s “SurrealEstate” TENNILLE READ (Working Mom’s, Schitt's Creek, Condor, Hudson & Rex, Shadowhunters) teams up with ActionCAN Films to lead an award-winning cast in the high-stakes Canadian crime thriller: “R.O.I”
Tennille Read (Working Mom’s, Schitt's Creek, Condor, Hudson & Rex, Shadowhunters, and star of SyFy’s latest drama “The Surrelator”) and Canadian Film Center alumni Matthew Gouveia (Code 8, Star Trek: Short treks, American Gods, Wayne, Killjoys) lead an all-star cast featuring award-winning actors Allegra Fulton (The Shape of Water, John Q, Working Moms, Schitt's Creek, Fargo), David Lapsley (Luba, Handmaid’s Tale, Heroes: Reborn), and Ucal Shillingford (Bakugan, Wu Assassins, Body So Fluorescent) in this high-stakes crime thriller, and most ambitious project from the ActionCAN Films desk to date.
Faced with a power vacuum, the prodigal daughter of a crime syndicate must gamble with her moral compass in a bid to seize the throne. Featuring an all-Canadian cast & crew, this thrilling piece of cinema is the directorial film debut of award-winning theatre director Benjamin Blais (The Storefront Theatre, Tough Jews, Chasse Gallerie, Red One Theatre Collective) and his first collaboration with award-winning cinematographer Lee Foster (Foster Films, Wendigo, Use of Deadly Force). This layered script, written by ActionCAN Film’s John Fleming, is heightened by Andy Trithardt’s (The river you step in) original score.
