Filming for ‘Road to Recovery’ is already underway in Tulsa, Oklahoma, marking the directorial debut of Scout Taylor-Compton (‘Halloween’). The new drama stars icons Ryan Kiera Armstrong & Freddie Prinze Jr and follows the journey of a father (Prinze Jr.) and his terminally ill daughter (Armstrong) on a transformative cross-country trip.
Ryan Kiera Armstrong & Freddie Prinze Jr Lead the Cast The film unites Ryan Kiera Armstrong, known for ‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ and ‘Firestarter’, with the 90s icon, Freddie Prinze Jr., famous for ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’. The supporting cast is also notable, featuring names like Cameron Crovetti, Thomas Lennon, Marley Shelton, Tyler Mane, and Cerina Vincent, promising intense performances.
The Emotional Plot of ‘Road to Recovery’ ‘Road to Recovery’ follows a father and his terminally ill daughter as they embark on a cross-country trip. The goal is to find the boy she loves. During the journey, the two are forced to confront their shared grief and redefine what it means “to hold on and let go.”
A Personal Story for the Director The project is deeply personal for Scout Taylor-Compton, who wrote the script following the death of her mother from cancer, drawing from her own experience. “I wrote ‘Road to Recovery’ in the middle of my grief,” said Taylor-Compton. “It became less about loss and more about love, the kind that stays with you long after someone’s gone.”
Directorial Debut and Next Steps This is the first project under Taylor-Compton’s new banner, Building Blocks Productions, which will focus on “emotionally driven, character-centered storytelling.” Production on ‘Road to Recovery’ is expected to complete later this fall, with a festival run eyed for 2026.
