In MONTANA I am Leslie, a single mother of a little boy (Johnny, played by Nolan Gould) whose life is saved by Nikolai (played by Oleg Taktarov), a hit man who is trying to escape a life of crime in Russia. Even though Leslie and Nikolai do not speak the same language, they fall in love as Nikolai tries to redeem himself from his former life and pursue his childhood dream of seeing the beautiful and peaceful state of Montana.

I had the wonderful pleasure and honor of being directed by the amazing Alexander Atanesian and working opposite the always entertaining Oleg Taktarov (who many of you will know and recognize from his years as an Ultimate Fighting Champion).

Montana will be seen in Europe, and should be subtitled in both English and Russian. It is a film that I am truly proud to have been a part of. Thank you to the amazing crew and cast for everything!
