Marlo makes her film directorial debut with American Reject, a comedy with an original soundtrack starring Keala Settle, Annaleigh Ashford, Kathleen Monteleone, Billy Ray Cyrus, Rebecca Black, Bryan Batt, Juvenile, Mary Birdsong, Connie Ray, and introducing Angelica Hale. 35 year old Kay is the most recent reject from America's hottest singing competition show, POP STAR NOW! As she mourns an embarrassing public elimination, she's forced to participate in the network's "After The Cut" filming, and is sent to her hometown where she is required to move in with her mother and face the simple life she left behind. With nothing on the horizon and a camera man following her every move, she faces the small town identity she had ditched and struggles to maintain the image she cultivated for America. Sometimes losing is the only to win. For more information, visit www.americanreject.movie. @AMERICANREJECTFILM
