EXCLUSIVE: Final Destination Bloodlines star Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Maclean Fish (Little House On The Prairie) and Nikki Roumel (Ginny & Georgia) are leading road-trip dramedy, The Jam Van.
Madison MacIsaac (My Secret Santa), Cassandra Potenza (Clown in a Cornfield) and Dom Bergeron (High School) round out the lead cast. Production begins in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the end of August.
The Jam Van follows “a dysfunctional pop punk band who navigate long roads, longer silences, and messy relationships on their way to what could be their big break or their last show for good.”
The film will be the directorial debut of Alec Carlos. Carlos co-wrote the film with producer Peter Roumeliotis. Along with Carlos and Roumeliotis, the film is produced by Jordan Connor (Riverdale) and Kyle Guerrero from Inventive Entertainment, with Helen Roumeliotis and Santa Juana also serving as producers.
Santa Juana got her big break starring in 2025 horror hit Final Destination Bloodlines, which made $318M globally for Warner Bros. The Jam Van is her first feature since that movie.
