Erin Wile and Cheyenne Cage were working on a multimillion-dollar ad campaign for a major tech company that was pushing them to their breaking point: The production required long hours and lengthy commute times, coordinating several shoots and navigating the threat of bad weather, all while the production team was being asked to put more on their plate. (Wile and Cage declined to publicly name the companies involved, but The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the details of the shoot with other workers on the project.)

Eddie Marsan, David Morse, Richard Brake, and Diora Baird are aboard as the supporting cast of The Virtuoso, a modern day noir thriller directed and produced by Nick Stagliano.
