Any Day Now (2012 film)

Any Day Now is a 2012 American drama film directed by Travis Fine who rewrote the original screenplay that George Arthur Bloom had writtenyears previously.

Despite having a compelling story, Bloom would have to waityears to actually see the movie made. He explains My son, PJ, is one of the top Music Supervisors in LA, as well as a record producer and publisher. Among other shows, PJ is the Music Supervisor on GLEE. Travis Fine, the director of Any Day Now, made another independent movieyears ago called THE SPACE BETWEEN. Travis and PJ were friends in high school. When Travis needed help with the music on his movie he contacted PJ. When the movie was done, Travis told PJ he was looking for another movie to do, something small, with heart, and about something important.

Travis did his rewrite, raised the money, hired the actors, and made the movie. If you discount the firstyears of trying to get the movie made, the last couple have gone by quickly.
