\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Rosanna Arquette<\/a> (Pulp Fiction) is set to star in Northern Lights<\/a>, an indie coming-of-age drama that will shoot in Manitoba, Canada later this month.<\/p>\n

\n\tSet against a stark winter landscape, Northern Lights follows a 17-year-old snowmobile rider on the brink of going professional who is driven by a quiet desire to escape her small-town life. When she discovers she is pregnant, her carefully imagined future is thrown into uncertainty, forcing her to confront the tension between motherhood and ambition.<\/p>\n

\n\tHailing from Cold Iron Pictures (Swiss Army Man, The Diary of a Teenage Girl), Victory Man Productions (Humane, United We Fan), and Memory Pill Films (Daughter of the Sun), the film will also star Laura Provenzano (Relative Danger) and Ryan David Younes (Nobody 2), with an appearance by five-time professional women\u2019s snocross champion, Malene Cottew. Mackenzie Leigh<\/a> is directing in her feature debut.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve admired Rosanna\u2019s work for years, and collaborating with her on this film has been exactly the kind of creative partnership I was hoping to find,\u201d Leigh told us. \u201cHer performance brings a lived-in sense of the character\u2019s grief and contradictions, and she\u2019s surrounded by a brilliant cast that brings the same depth and commitment to every scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNorthern Lights will be produced by Ryan Ward and Memory Pill Films, with production financing from Telefilm Canada and Manitoba Film & Music. EPs include Miranda Bailey, Natalie Whalen, and Julia Stier of Cold Iron Pictures, Michael Sparaga of Victory Man Productions, and Ross Mollberg. Jessica Lacy at Gersh is repping North American right to the film.<\/p>\n

\n\tWard called Northern Lights \u201cthe kind of original, director-driven storytelling Memory Pill was founded to create,\u201d adding, \u201cHaving Rosanna join the film, alongside our talented creative team reflects a shared belief in Mackenzie\u2019s vision as a director and the unique world she\u2019s bringing to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAn Emmy and Golden Globe nominee best known for roles in films like Pulp Fiction and After Hours, Arquett will next be seen starring alongside Charli xcx in her A24 film The Moment, releasing January 30 after premiering at Sundance. Also upcoming for the actress is the horror thriller Corporate Retreat with Lilly Krug, Ashton Sanders, Simona Tabasco, Odeya Rush, Alan Ruck, and Sasha Lane.
