“Miss Valentine is the story of Samantha (Berelc), who, as a teenager, won her hometown’s Miss Valentine pageant and subsequently experienced a major breakdown on stage. Years later, Sam is a nurse in Chicago and engaged to a handsome doctor.” “When he suddenly dumps Sam, she goes home to start over and finds herself back where she started: living in her parents’ house, being courted by her high school boyfriend, and still a local legend , because she freaked out at the Miss Valentine pageant. Much to their surprise, things are very different this time.”
Director Blayne Weaver discussed Berelc’s choice as director.
“I wrote a film for Paramount last year and was so impressed with the talent and comedic timing of the film’s female lead that I approached her at the wrap party and told her I wanted to work with her as a director,” Weaver said. “The actress was Paris Berelc and I’m so blown away by her and the ensemble cast we’ve built around her.”
Miss Valentine is produced by Joseph P. Genier, Mike Elliott, Paul DiFranco, Karen Gorodetzky, Steve Nerangis and Blayne Weaver. The other crew includes cameraman David V. Daniel (Teen Wolf, Wolf Pack) and Jan Glaser as casting director.
