Lightyear Entertainment (www.lightyear.com), the Los Angeles and New York-based entertainment distributor of acclaimed films and music, announces that LITTLE GLORY, an emotionally gripping coming-of-age drama – starring Cameron Bright (The Twilight Saga), Hannah Murray (“Game of Thrones”) and rising star Isabella Blake-Thomas – will be released September 15th on DVD in the U.S. and Canada.
Two young orphans, living in economic hardship, try to survive against the odds in LITTLE GLORY, a heartwarming film about lives torn apart by fate, but held together by the strongest bond of all. When his alcoholic father suddenly dies, nineteen-year-old drop-out Shawn (Bright), decides to step up and raise his little sister, Julie (Blake-Thomas), on his own. Hoping to cash in on his dad’s life insurance policy, Shawn battles his aunt Monica (Astrid Whettnal) for custody of Julie. Unfortunately, providing for a nine-year-old proves harder than he could have imaged. Taking on everyone and everything to keep the two of them together, Shawn discovers just how important it is to be a big brother when your little sister is all you’ve got.
Told with grace and earnest, LITTLE GLORY includes powerful and moving performances by its talented, young cast. Best known for playing the role of Alec in three installments of The Twilight Saga, Cameron Bright has amassed a long list of acting credits, including co-starring turns with Robert De Niro (Godsend) and Nicole Kidman (Birth) at an early age. Most recently, Cameron has appeared in an ongoing role in the ABC crime drama “Motive” and starred opposite Abigail Breslin in Final Girl. Hannah Murray, who plays Cameron Bright’s girlfriend in LITTLE GLORY, first gained acclaim for her role in the British TV series “Skins” before starring as Gilly in HBO’s worldwide phenomenon “Game of Thrones.” LITTLE GLORY is the first feature starring role for Isabella Blake-Thomas, who has recently appeared in the Starz series “Da Vinci’s Demons” and FX’s “Married.”
Directed by Vincent Lannoo (Vampires, In the Name of the Son), LITTLE GLORY had its U.S. theatrical premiere in June 2015 and was an Official Selection at the International Rome Film Festival, competing in the Alice Nella Città (Alice in the City) section that is dedicated to films for children and adolescents.
