But then he meets Erica (Thompson), a mystery woman, and life suddenly starts dealing him aces.

Previously co-directing the award-winning military drama Minus One, Osbeck is also producing Down to the Felt through his production shingle Big Deal Pictures, alongside Douglas.
Stated Osbeck, “It’s truly an embarrassment of riches to be working with both Michaels and Scottie. Their roles all demand a high proficiency of comedy and pathos, and luckily, the three of them have it all in spades.”
Added actor-producer Douglas, “I’m thrilled to work with and alongside this incredible cast. Scottie and I have worked together in the past (Portrait of a Woman at Dawn) and were looking for a project to reunite on – And Michael Stahl-David and Michael Weston are both at the top of their game.”
On the film side, Stahl-David is best known for turns in titles like Cloverfield and LBJ. Over the years, he’s also been seen on shows like Good Sam, Almost Family, The Deuce, Narcos, Show Me a Hero and The Black Donnellys, among others.
