‘Euphoria’ Star Barbie Ferreira to Lead XYZ’s Rom-Com ‘Mile End Kicks’ With Devon Bostick, Stanley Simons, Juliette Gariepy (EXCLUSIVE)
'Euphoria' breakout Barbie Ferreira is set to star in the indie Montreal-set rom-com 'Mile End Kicks' for XYZ Films.
Set in the summer of 2011, “Mile End Kicks” follows Grace Pine (Ferreira), a 24-year-old music critic who moves to Montreal intending to write a book about Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill.” Her plans take an unexpected turn when she becomes romantically involved with two members of the same struggling indie rock band and decides to become their publicist. Levack, whose debut feature “I Like Movies” premiered at Toronto in 2023, and won the Independent Spirit Award at Santa Barbara, based the script on her experiences as a young female music critic. She can make the turn from laughs to tears on a dime and with ‘Mile End Kicks’ she so effortlessly captures the anxiety of young adulthood in the style of timeless classics like ‘Reality Bites’ and ‘Almost Famous,'” said XYZ’s Todd Brown.
