I love genre movies that exist beneath the big studio radar, and filmmaker Brea Grant’s 12 Hour Shift blew my socks off. She wrote and headlined 2020’s underrated Lucky. With an A-list actor to anchor her latest feature Torn Hearts, Grant continues to flourish.

As witnessed with 12 Hour Shift, director Brea Grant has a talent for casting top of the line actors (Angela Bettis and Chloe Farnworth are terrific in that feature). With Torn Hearts, we have a trip of artists (Katey Sagal, Alexxis Lemire, Abby Quinn) delivering pitch perfect work as well.
Leigh (Lemire) and Jordan (Quinn) are struggling country artists who believe their careers can reach a higher level as a duo. After a one-night stand with a country star (Shiloh Fernandez), Jordan scores the address of Harper Dutch (Katey Sagal). A legend in the Nashville Country Music scene, Harper is now a recluse due to the tragic and mysterious death of her sister.
