Lewis Pullman Joins Coming-of-Age Motocross Drama RAGAMUFFIN

Lewis Pullman Joins Coming-of-Age Motocross Drama RAGAMUFFIN
Lewis Pullman ("Remarkably Bright Creatures", "Top Gun: Maverick", "Thunderbolts") is set to star in the coming-of-age motocross drama "Ragamuffin" directed by Kaitlyn Mikayla. The film marks Mikayla's feature directorial debut based on her own short film. David Permut ("Hacksaw Ridge") will produce the film under his Permut Productions alongside Alex Astrachan. Pre-production and financing for the film is underway.

The film follows Mad Mike (Pullman) and his 14-year old daughter, an aspiring motocross champion, as she competes in a tournament over the course of a summer. The award-winning original short film, which is inspired by Mikayla's own experience in the world of motocross, was executive produced by Oscar nominee Jason Reitman ("Juno", "Ghostbusters: Afterlife").

Mikayla had this to say about the casting: "Lewis brings a rare emotional depth and authenticity to every role he inhabits. Inspired by, and named after, my own father, finding the right actor carried enormous weight. Lewis has an extraordinary ability to communicate entire worlds beneath the surface, and I couldn't be more excited to have him bring Mad Mike to life on screen".

Permut added: "It's a privilege to be working with Kaitlyn. I think the emotionality of the relationship between Mad Mike and his daughter, against the backdrop of the intense world of motocross, will be an exhilarating experience for the audience".
