Production is scheduled to begin in Shreveport, Louisiana this fall on the feature debut from writer-director Abby Tozer, a project set in 1967 West Texas.
Production is getting underway this fall in Louisiana for the road-trip drama I’ll Go If You Go, with Wednesday star Evie Templeton and Caylee Cowan set to headline the project from writer-director Abby Tozer, Deadline reported.
Tozer will make her feature-debut as both writer and director of I’ll Go If You Go. The film is planned as a ’60s-set story taking place in West Texas in 1967, according to the report. The road-trip framework centers on Ellie Mansfield, played by Templeton, and follows the character as the plot unfolds on the road.
Templeton is attached in the lead role of Ellie Mansfield. Deadline also lists Larsen Thompson as part of the cast, noting Thompson’s credits include Tarot.
Caylee Cowan has been cast opposite Templeton. The article places the project alongside Cowan’s other recent and upcoming work, including Casey Affleck’s upcoming Company, and frames I’ll Go If You Go as part of a broader slate of roles for the actresses.
The production will begin in Shreveport, Louisiana this fall, the report states. Beyond the location timing, the coverage does not provide additional details on casting beyond the three named performers, filming schedule length, or distribution plans.
I’ll Go If You Go’s premise is described as a ’60s-set road-trip drama built around an “I’ll go if you go” dynamic, with the story anchored in West Texas during 1967. Deadline’s synopsis indicates the film’s tone and stakes will be driven by the characters’ movement across the region and the relationships developed during the trip.
The project adds to ongoing development activity from emerging writer-directors in features, with Tozer’s debut positioned as a period drama that begins production in the U.S. South. The article does not yet specify production companies, producers, or release timing beyond the fall start.
No additional production milestones, further casting announcements, or release dates were included in the report. Updates are expected as the Shreveport shoot approaches and as the film’s team and distribution strategy become clearer.
