Director Joan Carr-Wiggin Shooting Female Friendship Film

Female
friendship is the subject of writer-director Joan Carr-Wiggin’s fourth film, If You See Her. Carr-Wiggin’s follow up
to this year’s romantic comedy If I Were
You
will star Janet
Montgomery (Spies of Warsaw, Our Idiot Brother) and Sara Paxton (The Innkeepers, Aquamarine) as two childhood friends who have grown apart pulled
back into each other’s orbit by secrets and of course, a wedding.

Paragraph Pictures’ summary of the film, which recently began shooting in Canada:

When Heather (Janet Montgomery) and Sarah Ann
(Sara Paxton) were kids they knew they would be best friends forever. But
Heather left the small town on the last day of high school vowing never to
return. Forced to return when her father becomes ill, the cynical young
documentary filmmaker is pressured into filming Sarah Ann’s wedding video.
Heather is convinced that the anarchist filmmaker and bubbly pink-wearing bride
have nothing in common, but as the big day approaches she finds that no one is
quite what they seem — especially the old friend she thought she knew better
than anyone.

Peter Firth, Tom Cullen and Alex Kingston round out the cast.
