(PCM) Rita Merson’s romantic drama stars Brittany Snow, Katey Sagal, and Ryan Guzman; Always Woodstock opens in select theaters November 14, 2014.

Aspiring singer, Catherine Brown (Allison Miller), finds herself living a life she never imagined. Stuck at a dead end job in New York City at a mega music record label, Catherine spends her days as the wrangler for the label’s most difficult star (Brittany Snow).

But when Catherine is unceremoniously fired, and then comes home to find her long time fiancé (Jason Ritter) in the arms of another woman, she decides that it’s time for a change.

Selling off her engagement ring, Catherine moves back to her family home in Woodstock, to get back to what she has always wanted to do: write music.

One night at a local bar, Catherine stumbles into handsome town doctor Noah (James Wolk), and cannot deny the moment of magic between them.

Little by little, Catherine starts to find herself, and write music, with the help of local legend, Lee Ann (Katey Sagal).

As she and Noah start to fall in love, Catherine realizes that becoming successful means becoming your true self first.

Always Woodstock features original songs written by Katey Sagal, Kurt Sutter, and Allison Miller and performed by Katey Sagal and Allison Miller.

First time film-writer and director Rita Merson said she found the inspiration for Always Woodstock while visiting friends in New York: “I went to Woodstock, New York to visit friends who were recording an album and got so inspired, I wrote the entire movie over that weekend. I was getting over a break up and the script was just something I created in an effort to make myself feel better… It has all been a very organic process ever since…This movie, fittingly, has been a labor of love for the film makers and we hope that sentiment extends to the screen and into the lives of the audience who finds it.”

Always Woodstock stars Allison Miller, James Wolk, Katey Sagal, Rumer Willis, Jason Ritter, Brittany Snow, Anna Anissimova, and Ryan Guzman and opens in select theaters on November 14, 2014.
