Television Drama Series 'Liv' First Project for Simpatico Entertainment

Series from writer/director Tyler Ford (River Ridge) enters pre-production.

Film and television production company Simpatico Entertainment announced today that television drama pilot Liv has entered pre-production, with principal photography slated for the fall.

"While we have many projects in development, Liv blossomed organically and stole the spotlight," said creator Tyler Ford.  "This show in particular embodies the essence of the stories we intend to tell."

The gritty drama centers around a suicidal woman who is provided the perfect justification when she receives a terminal disease diagnosis, but figuring out how to die, unexpectedly forces her to live.

Kristen Renton (Sons of Anarchy) will portray the title character, in addition to serving alongside Ford as Executive Producer.

Renton is represented by Stewart Talent, while Ford is repped by AM Management.
