It turns out that there is a lot more than lighthearted romance going on in Jackson Rathbone’s project that also heavily involves his 100 Monkeys bandmates. Director Justin Lerner spoke with MTV about an, up until now, not revealed plotline about the film’s main character, Evan Grey:

“The Evan Grey (played by Evan Sneider [who]also inspired the character) is a man in his twenties with down syndrome[sic] who wants to find love from a woman, and the film (appropriately titled) is about his journey to find a girlfriend. During the course of the tale, Evan comes into some sort of means — which we assume to be money — that he uses to help the girl he’s loved since high school (Shannon), who is currently a single mom.”

100 Monkeys is providing songs for the soundtrack. When asked about the role of music in the film Jackson Rathbone (who is also a producer on the film) said, ““I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a film before it’s finished, but a lot of times you watch a film half way through the cutting and there’s no music and you’re just like, where’s the emotion,” he said. “Once you add the music, it just really takes you along for the ride. Even back in the silent picture days you had somebody playing the piano.”
