STORY LINE: “The New Year” is a “dramedy” written by Brett Haley and his sister-in-law. It is about a young woman, Sunny, who gives up a promising academic career to return home and care for her ailing father. “The movie picks up several years after that, and she’s still here, kind of in a rut,” Haley says. “She’s been working at the local bowling alley for two years just going through the motions in her hometown, which is something she never saw herself doing.”

Haley directs. Actors and filmmakers are coming in from NY for the shoot. Professional actor Trieste Dunn is Sunny.
