Blue Fox Entertainment is all set to release Andrew Boodhoo Kightlinger‘s (Tater Tot & Patton) moving and inspiring family adventure movie, Lost on a Mountain in Maine that tells the harrowing true story of a young boy who becomes separated from his family during a hiking trip in the rugged wilderness of Maine.

Directed by Boodhoo Kightlinger, from a script penned by Luke Paradise (Sympathy for the Devil), the film is based on the best-selling Harper Collins Book of the same name written by Donn Fendler, as told to Joseph B. Egen.

Lost on a Mountain in Maine recounts the harrowing true story of 12-year-old Donn Fendler (Luke David Blumm – Son, “The Watcher”), who found himself stranded and alone in the unforgiving wilderness of northern Maine during the summer of 1939.

The film also stars Paul Sparks (“House of Cards”), Caitlin FitzGerald (The Trial of the Chicago 7, “Succession”), Griffin Wallace Henkel (Armageddon Time), and Ethan Slater (Universal’s upcoming Wicked) and is produced by Sylvester StalloneBraden AftergoodDick Boyce, and Ryan B. Cook.
