‘Schitt’s Creek’ Actor Scott Anthony Cavalheiro Helms New Crime Thriller ‘Plan C’ (EXCLUSIVE)

As an admirer of the Canadian film industry and a fan of both acting and storytelling, I am thrilled to see Scott Anthony Cavalheiro‘s directorial debut, “Plan C,” come to life. His unique background in both acting and producing makes him an intriguing figure in the world of cinema.


The principal photography for “Plan C,” the first directorial project of Scott Anthony Cavalheiro who is recognized for his acting work in “Schitt’s Creek,” has commenced.

The movie is presently being filmed at various spots in the Greater Toronto Area and Windsor/Essex region. Production is planned to last until August.

In an exciting turn of events, the crime thriller follows the journey of siblings Clare and Danny as they go into hiding after a botched robbery. This gripping tale is filled with heart-pounding action sequences, challenging dilemmas, and shocking surprises that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

In the main roles are Claire Cavalheiro, known for “Man Seeking Woman,” and Daniel DeSanto from “Mean Girls.” The esteemed Vivica A. Fox, recognized in films like “Independence Day” and “Kill Bill,” joins them as a headlining actor. The supporting cast includes Jamie Spilchuk (“Defining Moments”), Joris Jarsky (“Saw V”), Kris Holden-Ried (“Departure,” “The Way Home”), and Kylee Evans (“Luckiest Girl Alive”).

Claire and Scott Cavalheiro, working under their Stained Tie Films production company, are teaming up with Gerry Lattmann of The Dot Film Company as the line producer. Claire Cavalheiro additionally assumes the position of executive producer.

The filmmaker, who penned the screenplay himself, shares his vision for the project: “I aimed to create a film that would captivate me personally. It’s full of energy right from the start, yet retains an intriguing element of the absurd. Moreover, I have the privilege of working with my wife and dear friends on this production. I can’t wait for audiences to discover the unique potential of Canadian independent cinema.”

Cavalheiro shifted gears from acting to directing with the film’s production, building upon his previous on-screen roles in “Anything for Jackson,” “Good Witch,” and an episode of “Schitt’s Creek.”

The production team is proud to have on board experienced industry professionals. Andrew Appelle (“In a Violent Nature”) serves as the cinematographer, Craig Harris (“Possessor”) takes charge of production design, and Derek Liscoumb (“Code 8”) manages special effects.

The film is slated for a 2025 release.
