Exclusive: Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham, Caroline Aaron, Noam Ash (The Other Two), and Charlie Barnett are set for 5x Media’s Bookends from filmmaker Mike Doyle.
The movie, off a screenplay by Ash, follows Nate (Ash), an excitable millennial novelist, who is forced to leave his fabulous city life behind and move in with his grandparents after a bad breakup.
