Production

Press Play is a romantic drama directed by Greg Björkman that incorporates music into its story. It is written by Björkman and James Bachelor from a story by Josh Boone. On October 7, 2019, CJ Entertainment announced it would produce the film starring Clara Rugaard, Lewis Pullman, Danny Glover, and Lyrica Okano. In a statement, Boone said "music has always been my magic carpet ride into the past. This story sprung from that idea — music as time travel." Filming began that same month in Hawaii.[1][2]

By May 2020, the film was in post-production with music supervisor Season Kent and editor Patrick J. Don Vito.[1][3] In November 2021, The Avenue acquired the North American distribution rights to the film and it was confirmed Matt Walsh would also star; a release date is set for 2022. In a statement, Björkman said "music can be such an integral part of one’s life. What better way to travel back in time than through the soundtrack of your youth."[4]
