Elliot Page joins the cast of Close to You

BAFTA-winning writer and director Dominic Savage's Close to You has added Elliot Page to the cast. Page is set to essay the role of Sam, who, on his way home to a feared family reunion, gets a chance to meet with an old friend (Hillary Baack), forcing him to confront memories that were buried long ago. 

Page has also co-written the story along with Savage, apart from acting. The two will also be a part of the project as producers. Krishnendu Majumdar and Richard Yee are producing under the Me + You banner, while Daniel Bekerman and Chris Yurkovich are representing Good Question Media.

The principal photography for Close to You was recently wrapped up in Canada. Speaking about the film, Savage recently said as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter, "It has been a remarkable experience to collaborate with Elliot Page on this very special and unique film about love, identity and family. I’m so proud of what we have achieved with the film. It has been an honour to work with Elliot to bring this very poignant, personal and important story to life and to the screen."
