Michole Briana White, Alix Lapri, Connor Paolo To Star In Shenyc Arts & Pathway Pictures' Feature Film SHEEPWELL
(MENAFN- EIN Presswire)
Sheepwell is an incredibly special story that's kept all of us up at night at SheNYC, ever since we first read the original play script.” - Danielle DeMatteo, Founder & Artistic Director of SheNYC ArtsNEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 26, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- Michole Briana White (BMF: Black Mafia Family), Alix Lapri (Power Book II: Ghost), Connor Paolo (Gossip Girl) are set to topline Sheepwell, a dark comedy directed by Kim Caicedo. Also in the cast are Lauren Elizabeth Harris (How To Hack Birth Control) and Denise Grayson (TheSocial Network). Caicedo was recently announced as recipient of the DGA Jury Prize in the Latino category at the 30th Annual DGA Student Film Awards.
The film is based on the award-winning off-Broadway play of the same title by Margaret Rose Caterisano, adapted into a screenplay by Caicedo and Danielle DeMatteo. Inspired by the Lope de Vega play Fuenteovejuna, Sheepwell is a shocking and vindictive feminist thriller that reveals what happens when an overconfident traveler messes with the wrong women.“Upon reading the script for the first time, I was immediately consumed by these women and the eerie, twisted Southern landscape that they're trying to survive in,” says Caicedo.“This play is more than just a mystery and a thriller. It's a real-life depiction of what women in our society have to fear and fight for every day.”
“Sheepwell is an incredibly special story that's kept all of us up at night at SheNYC, ever since we first read the original play script,” says DeMatteo, who is also the Founder & Artistic Director of SheNYC Arts.“We had the privilege of bringing it to life on an off-Broadway stage back in
2023, and it's going to be even more thrilling and shocking on screen.”
The project is being produced by SheNYC Arts, the nationwide 501c3 not-for-profit organization whose mission is to fight for gender equity in the entertainment industry, and Lauren Elizabeth Harris of Pathway Pictures. Harris founded Pathway Pictures, which is in development on five feature films and two series.“Being a longtime member of the SheNYC team has been incredibly fulfilling and inspired my company's mission to produce gender marginalized works. Leading SheNYC's newest expansion into film has been the honor of a lifetime," says Harris. SheNYC Arts has produced 114 shows off-Broadway and in their Festivals across the country.
Sheepwell marks their debut feature film endeavor. Sheepwell began filming this March in Alabama.
White is repped by SMS Talent Agency, and both White and Grayson are repped by Silver J Management; Lapri is repped by Alan Siegel, CESD Talent Agency; Paolo and Harris are repped by Untitled Entertainment. Harris is also repped by Zero Gravity Management.
