William Moseley and Johanna Braddy will star in “Pencil Town”, an inspirational drama directed and executive produced by Jay Silverman (Girl on the Edge, Off the Menu) that just wrapped production in Los Angeles. Written by Van Billet, the plot is based on a true story about a corporate raider (Moseley) on the verge of making partner at his private equity firm who is forced to return to his small town where he suddenly inherits his father’s nearly bankrupt pencil factory, which is the heart and soul of the depressed community. With foreclosure looming, he must decide whether to join the workers’ fight to save the factory or let it close and relocate to China. Mimi Kennedy, Mary Pat Gleason, Shashawnee Hall, Paul Dooley, Bill Cobbs and James Eckhouse also star. William Newman, Bethany Cerrona and Joe Gamache are producers. Moseley (The Chronicles of Narnia, The Royals) is repped by APA, United Entertainment, CAM, and Ginsburg Daniels LLP. Braddy (UnReal) is repped by APA and Circle of Confusion.
