Netflix has shared a first look at the new romantic comedy Find Me Falling, which is coming to the streaming service on July 19, 2024.
In the film, coming off a flop album and his biggest hit’s dwindling popularity, aging rock star John Allman (Harry Connick Jr.) decides to take a break from his career to reclaim his spark.
He moves to an isolated cliffside home on the idyllic Mediterranean island of Cyprus. His dream of keeping a low profile is derailed when he is routinely confronted by desperate souls and later faced with even more complicated surprises when an old flame reignites.
In addition to Harry Connick Jr., the movie also stars Agni Scott, Ali Fumiko Whitney, Tony Demetriou, Aggeliki Filippidou, Lea Maleni, Athina Roditou, and Clarence Smith.
Find Me Falling was directed, written, and produced by Stelana Kliris alongside producers Steven Shapiro and Keith Arnold. The executive producer is Sriram Das.
“He’s playing against type as a brooding, tattooed, lonely rock star,” Kliris told Netflix‘s Tudum about Harry Connick Jr. “We couldn’t have asked for a better fit, and on top of that, he wrote two fantastic songs for the film.”
Kliris also said that the island of Cyprus was given a spotlight of its own. “This film is a love letter to Cyprus, and I hope that it transports audiences and gives them a little bit of magical escapism. Plus, there was nothing better than walking out on set on a cliff overlooking the endless blue horizon of the Mediterranean Sea. You can’t ask for a better ‘view from the office!'”
And the story? “This is a love story about many kinds of love: romantic, family, lifelong dreams, and what you’re willing to sacrifice for the people or the things you love,” Kliris said. “John essentially has to decide whether the love of his life is his music or the woman he left behind.”
