Powerful Trailer for PRINCESS OF THE ROW About a Young Girl Who Won't Give Up on Her Father
We’ve got a great-looking trailer for you to check out for the film Princess of the Row. The movie tells the story of a young girl who lives on the streets of Los Angeles with her father and decides to buck the system that is trying to help her when she realizes there is no one willing to help her father.
The movie stars Tayler Buck as the young girl, Alicia, Edi Gathegi as her father Bo, Ana Ortiz, Jacob Vargas, and Martin Sheen. The film was directed by Max Carlson from a script he co-wrote with Shawn Austin.
Here’s the synopsis:
Often bouncing around the sometimes-abusive foster care system, a creative 12-year-old girl, Alicia Willis (Tayler Buck), ditches school to visit her military veteran father, Sgt. Beaumont "Bo" Willis (Edi Gathegi). After a battle-induced brain injury during his service in Iraq, Bo is now homeless and living on skid row in Los Angeles suffering from severe PTSD. The injury renders him unable to recognize his own daughter, but to Alicia it doesn't matter, because she remembers him as the father he used to be: a caring man with a love of storytelling. Inheriting her father's creativity, Alicia loves to write and spends most of her time writing fantasy tales of a Princess on a quest. But when Alicia's social worker (Ana Ortiz) places her in a perfect home with an award-winning writer, John Austin (Martin Sheen), she learns they live 10 hours away. Fearful of never seeing her father again, Alicia escapes the city with her father, on a mission to find a better life where they can be together in peace.
This looks like a powerful and heartbreaking film with moving performances. I can’t wait to watch it. Check out the trailer and poster below, and watch The Princess of the Row in select theaters and on VOD on November 27th.
