Toronto Acting Pair Leads For “Not Ready”

 iFilmGroup’s newest production “Not Ready” has two main characters that when brought to life on the screen will move people in a profound way. The script is written by iFilmGroup co-founder Don Hickey. Many who have caught a sneak glimpse at the script are very moved by the words on the page. The team has been working on finding the right people to bring those words to life and they believe they have found the right combination in David Parisian and Diane Newling.

David Parisian will be playing the lead role of Professor Richard Pratt.  The professor has just received the bad news he is going to die. Now he must get his affairs in order and try to prepare for his impending death. Parisian is a character actor in the truest sense of the word. He has brought to life characters ranging from those you feel sorry for, to those you love, to those you hate. He is known for playing John Carroll in Black Donelly’s, Charles Tripp in Black Gold, along with over 30 other films and many TV series.  Parisian has also previously worked with the iFilmGroup team when he was in m & s Marshall Production’s Blue Love. He played a small role as the minister in the film.

Diane Newling will be playing the professor’s wife Gail Pratt. She is a talented Fashion design teacher who finds out she has won an award and is supposed to be going to Paris. That is until the news comes about her husband Richard changing the course of events in their lives. Newling is a Toronto based actress who has played Chloe in “The Petrichor,”  Ida in “Life of CY” and a Financial Aid Officer in “Tuition” and appearing in two TV Series.  Playing Julia Ames in the episode “Deadly Duplex” on Fear Thy Neighbour and Inspector Juvelle on the episode “Discord” on Bizarre Murders.  

Parisian and Newling have worked together on previous projects and are both excited to be working together again.  Filming for the production will be taking place over the summer of 2019 in London and St. Thomas.
