\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Finn Wolfhard<\/a> (Stranger Things) and Gabriel LaBelle<\/a> (The Fabelmans) have wrapped lead roles in Crash Land<\/a>, a stunt comedy marking the debut feature of writer-director Dempsey Bryk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tCrash Land is described as a darkly funny coming-of-age story about a group of small-town amateur stuntmen whose days revolve around drinking, antagonizing their community, and filming crude, Jackass-style stunts. The story was developed by Dempsey Bryk and longtime collaborator Ben Snider-McGrath.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso starring Abby Quinn (I\u2019m Thinking of Ending Things), Billy Bryk (Friendship), and Noah Parker (Who By Fire), the film is produced by Billy Bryk, Dempsey Bryk, Wolfhard, and Julian Geneen, with financing from Ursa Major Entertainment, Elevation Pictures, and Redlab. Executive producers include Zapruder Films\u2019 Matthew Miller and Matt Johnson, Charles Cohen, and LaBelle, along with Ursa Major\u2019s Jasmin Kar, Sam Sutcliffe, and Dias Tobizarov.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Kid Brother, the production company of Wolfhard and Billy Bryk, Crash Land is the follow-up to Hell of a Summer, a horror comedy directed by and starring the duo, which was acquired by Neon after premiering at the Toronto Film Festival.<\/p>\n

\n\tBilly Bryk\u2019s brother, Dempsey Bryk, is best known for his work as an actor in projects ranging from Prime Video\u2019s We Were Liars to Lionsgate\u2019s Ordinary Angels, Disney+\u2019s Willow and Netflix\u2019s Black Mirror. He is repped by Buchwald, Canopy Media Partners, The Characters Talent Agency, and Bloch Law.<\/p>\n

\n\tKnown for his role as Mike Wheeler in Netflix\u2019s Stranger Things, Wolfhard has the first of three parts of the show\u2019s fifth and final season coming up for release tomorrow. Also recently seen starring in A24\u2019s The Legend of Ochi and Sony\u2019s Saturday Night, he is repped by CAA, Venture Entertainment Partners, and Karl Austen of Jackoway Austen Tyerman.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince breaking out with his starring role in Steven Spielberg\u2019s The Fabelmans, LaBelle has been seen in the films Saturday Night and Snack Shack, Showtime\u2019s American Gigolo, and most recently, Hulu\u2019s Chad Powers.
