DANDELION stars KiKi Layne and Thomas Doherty talk to #CherryPicks' Meg McCarthy about the new film, letting naturalism and real emotion drive their performances, and the intersection of music and acting.

Lost on a journey of chasing her dream, soulful songstress Dandelion (KiKi Layne) heads to a biker rally in South Dakota to perform in a music festival. After her set goes horribly wrong, Dandelion is ready to give up, but when she meets a guitarist named Casey (Thomas Doherty) the two enchant one another, arousing inspiration in this film about self-discovery from writer/director Nicole Riegel.

Dandelion is in theaters Friday July 12 from ‪‪@IFCFilmsUnlimited‬. Learn more: thecherrypicks.com/films/dandelion
