“Meadowland” follows a couple named Sarah (Wilde) and David (Wilson) who must deal with the unthinkable in the wake of their son’s disappearance. David, a New York City cop, attempts a more traditional form of healing, only to lose his moral compass. Sarah goes down an unexpected path towards acceptance as she places herself in increasingly dangerous situations.

“Meadowland” is a Bron Studios production in association with Creative Wealth Media Finance. Matt Tauber and Wilde are producing alongside Bron’s managing director Aaron L. Gilbert and Margot Hand. Jennifer Levine and Jason Cloth serve as executive producers on the film, which will start production in mid-August in New York City.
