"Heebuck" is a tv pilot in development by directors Michael & Mark Polish. This project is supported by the Montana Film Institute and Travis Bruyer, the Executive Director of the institute.  

Synopsis: Small town rural Montana deputy sheriff Heebuck addresses day to day reports from the dispatch blotter. His mind is set on investigating the disappearance of a girl from the Hungry Horse Reservoir.  A number of characters light up the screen in this episode and while his work consumes him, he's facing the greatest challenge of all: the first date.

I was cast as Cassie, an only child rooted in small-town Montana who is just beginning to step back into the dating world after years spent caring for her aging parents. Her openness and optimism feel slightly out of step with the world she’s reentering, bringing a gentle lightness  and mental sharpness that helps carry the emotional through line of Heebuck.

Current sample episodes are available on the YouTube PBC (Polish Brothers Channel).
