EXCLUSIVE: Haskiri Velazquez (Saved By The Bell, The Forty-Year-Old Version), Michael Rady (J. Edgar, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants), and Amy Hargreaves (13 Reasons Why, Homeland) are among the cast of the teen musical romance Intermedium from Mainframe Pictures.

Emily Keefe and Beau Minniear return from the 2018 short film of the same name with a cast that also includes Sean Allan Krill (Dopesick), Julie Halston (Sex and the City), Jesse Posey (Selena), and Sadie Scott (Sweetbitter).
Directed by Erik Bloomquist and penned by Taylor Turner, Intermedium follows an obsessive-compulsive teenager (Keefe) as she searches for a way to rid her home of the ghost (Minniear) that haunts it — but their unexpected connection makes it hard to let go.
