Writer/Director Kali Bailey’s “A Week Away” Greenlit by Netflix

The movie is based on an idea from Alan Powell, who co-wrote the screenplay with Kali Bailey. Music video director Roman White, who has worked with talent that includes Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Carrie Underwood, helmed the pic. 

The project, which was shot in Nashville, follows troubled teen Will Hawkins (Kevin Quinn), who has a run-in with the law that puts him at an important crossroads: Go to juvenile detention or attend a Christian summer camp. At first a fish-out-of-water, Will opens his heart, discovers love with a camp regular (Bailee Madison) and a sense of belonging in the last place he expected to find it. Sherri Shepherd and David Koechner also star, with newcomers Jahbril Cook, Kat Conner Sterling and Iain Tucker.
