PRESS RELEASE

Fionn Whitehead & newcomer Leyna Bloom have signed on to star alongside McCaul Lombardi in Danielle Lessovitz’s Port Authority

Fionn Whitehead (Dunkirk, The Children Act) and newcomer Leyna Bloom have signed on to star alongside McCaul Lombardi (American Honey, Patti Cake$) in Danielle Lessovitz’s Port Authority.  Also, Executive Producing is Martin Scorsese’s’ Sikelia Productions.
 
This film is aligned with Scorsese’s company ethos, formed in an effort to discover the works of emerging filmmakers from around the world. Port Authority is a love story set in New York's kiki ballroom scene. 

Paul, early 20's, arrives at the central bus station and quickly catches eyes with Wye, a girl voguing with her brothers on the sidewalk. 

After Paul seeks her out in secret, an intense love blossoms. But when Paul discovers Wye's past, he is forced to confront his desire for her and the deep-seeded violence of those around him. Principal photography wrapped earlier this month in New York City.
