sundance carousel movie.

Chris Pine stars in and produces Rachel Lambert’s film “Carousel,” which premieres Thursday at the Sundance Film Festival. The film tells the story of a single father in Cleveland navigating love and life challenges. Pine was captivated by Lambert’s unique storytelling, while Lambert admired Pine for his intelligence and sensitivity, likening him to classic actors like Jimmy Stewart. The film, shot on location and on celluloid, is Lambert’s most personal. Pine and co-star Jenny Slate share a strong on-screen chemistry, enhancing the film’s emotional depth. “Carousel” is seeking a distributor at the festival.
