During his hiatus from USA’s “Graceland,” Brandon Jay McLaren will star in and executive produce an untitled indie feature for The Milwaukee Collective.

Torre Catalano is directing the film, which follows Chris, a young girl who runs away to a friend’s vacation home after her boyfriend cheats on her. When her friends crash the retreat, things get quickly out of control. Rebelling against their normal, upstanding everyday lives over the course of one night, they test the limits of monogamy, friendship, betrayal and freedom.

Production will start June 29 in Palm Springs.

McLaren, who plays DEA agent Dale Jakes on “Graceland,” is represented by Pakula/King & Associates, Berwick & Kovacik and Trisko Talent Management.

Based in Los Angeles, the Milwaukee Collective is a group of actors, directors, writers and producers who are passionate about telling stories that don’t necessarily fit into outdated business models.
