“It’s no secret that animals have extraordinary lessons to teach us,” Roadsides’ Co-Presidents Howard Cohen and Eric d’Arbeloff stated. Rowe has appeared in “Rocketman” and “Never Let Me Go,” Harden is best known for her turns in “Mystic River” and “Pollock” and Belushi starred in “Red Heat” and “According to Jim.” Rounding out the cast are three-time Oscar-nominee Diane Ladd (“Rambling Rose”), Josephine Langford (“After”), Zoe Colletti (“Annie”), Hannah Riley (“Paper Towns”), Sasha Compère (“Single Drunk Female”), Olly Sholotan (“Bel-Air”), Emilio Garcia-Sanchez (“The Society”) and Mishel Prada (“Riverdale”). “’Gigi & Nate’ is a unique, stranger than fiction story that highlights the truths we see every day, the sacrifices we make to support our loved ones, the emotional bond between human and animal that transforms our lives, and how either, but particularly both, give us the strength to persevere,” Hamm said. Emmy-nominee David Hudgins penned the script. Jon Hamm of Free Turn Films and Nick Drew of Axis Studios also executive produced. It is executive produced by Marie-Christine Jaeger-Firmenich. The film is directed and produced by BAFTA-winning director Nick Hamm (“Driven”), alongside producers Piers Tempest of Tempo Productions and René Besson.
