Ireland Romance: Seeking Persephone Stars Reunite

The Irish-set, second-chance rom-com 'The Road to Ballycastle' is set to captivate audiences, reuniting talent from the 'Seeking Persephone' team. Actor Jake Stormoen, inspired by his own equestrian journey through Northern Ireland's picturesque coast, collaborated with author Sarah M. Eden and director John Lyde to bring this story to life. Filming wrapped on June 18, with the trailer teasing a "coming soon" release.

The plot centers on a former competitive equestrian who revisits her love for riding during a tour in Ireland, guided by her childhood best friend and former teammate, played by Stormoen. The film explores themes of rekindling love and friendship. The cast includes Charlotte Hemmings, Will Kemp, and Anna Greene, among others, with Stormoen basing his character on his own near-career detour into guiding horse tours.

While not based on a book, the script by Sarah M. Eden was crafted with a Hallmark movie feel. Stormoen described the project as a "fast, kind of little summer camp project." The movie promises a blend of tender, sweet, and humorous moments, all set against the stunning Irish scenery, featuring beautiful horses and engaging characters.
