Synopsis: John Cotler (Walls), a wounded veteran, returns to the States still carrying the demons of war, hauntingly disturbed by the everyday expectations of friendships and love interests. In Livingston, Montana, he meets Ike (Cox), a surly, headstrong fly-fisherman more than twice his age, and Lucy (Mattfeld), a talented photographer turned librarian who reads aloud to veterans, both struggling in their own way. While getting treatment for his wounds, both physical and psychological, Colter wants only to re-enlist, to have something to die for. But the real challenge is finding something to live for. Rated R. Mending the Line is the recipient of a Big Sky Film Grant.
Mending the Line stars Brian Cox (“Succession”), Sinqua Walls (Nanny, White Men Can’t Jump), Perry Mattfeld (“In the Dark”), Wes Studi (The Last of the Mohicans), Patricia Heaton (“Everybody Loves Raymond”, “The Middle”), Chris Galust (Give Me Liberty), and Irene Bedard (How to Blow Up a Pipeline, Pocahontas). The film also features plenty of crew and extras from SW Montana.
The feature is directed by Joshua Caldwell, who's previous credits include Negative, Infamous, and the TV series Release. The screenwriter/producer is local Bozeman resident Stephen Camelio, who follows up on his screenwriting feature debut The Push.
A portion of ticket sales and 100% of drawing proceeds will support the Warriors & Quiet Waters Foundation and their efforts to help post-9/11 and Afghanistan war veterans suffering from trauma.
