@NewtontoNewton is an experienced, award-winning cinematographer & filmmaker from ID. He raised $25,000+ in 2017 for Make-A-Wish with his debut feature and is excited to bring Tina’s energy to life in visuals. We’re thrilled to have him as our DoP for #SunshineGirlFilm

We are thrilled to announce Mark as our Craig! Mark is a Meisner-trained actor from LA with numerous credits to his name, most recently he can be seen in Lifetime’s ‘Dangerous Medicine’. “Craig finds light where others see only darkness. I’m honoured to bring that to the screen.”

I moved to New York two and a half years ago to study acting. I’ve attended The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute for nearly 2 years. It is very special to be playing a real person. I’m interested in Craig’s unconditional love for Tina and the immense trust he has in her.

Please welcome our Tina, @LeanneJohnsonPT, an extremely talented actor with 30+ credits to her name. We are honoured to have you on board. “Tina’s story inspired me & I know it will bless others in their journey through the brokenness & beauty of life.”

I’m Olivia, directing, producing & playing Teen Tina. I am excited to tell her story of faith, courage & hope. I’ve been making memories on set (on & off screen) since I was 14 and have had some fantastic opportunities. I am honoured to keep Tina’s legacy alive through film.

Hi, I’m Alma! A 12-year-old actor from CA with short film, improv & musical theatre experience (inc. virtual shows!) I am honoured and proud to play such a strong, courageous female character. I look forward to the challenge and hopefully doing Tina’s amazing life story justice.

I'm Craig, writer and producer. Sunshine Girl is based on the life of my wife Christina, her courageous battles with cancer and so much more, in her honour. I am an award-winning screenwriter, producer on multiple completed shorts (FERAL, MANNEQUIN) and an acclaimed YA author.

I am SO excited to announce that I will be #directing and starring in this super moving, powerful #IndieFeature shooting in the US this September. #SUNSHINEGIRLFILM. Please give us a follow on #Twitter & #RT to stay tuned for updates!
