EXCLUSIVE : Director Nikhil Melnechuk has wrapped production in Texas on his debut feature, the bull riding drama Daisy . Cast set in the pic, described as an underdog sports story, includes Melissa Jackson ( The Easy Kind ), Abigail Cowen ( Fate: The Winx Saga ), Dana Wheeler-Nicholson ( Nashville ) and Adam Huber ( Dynasty ). Written by Melnechuk and Jackson, the film tells the story of Daisy (Jackson), a Latina orphan living and working as a cowgirl on a bucking bull ranch in Texas.

Daisy’s always been treated as less-than by her domineering boss Mrs. Koehl (Wheeler-Nicholson). When her rodeo star twin brother gets paralyzed, his spitfire bull rider girlfriend Tam (Cowen) convinces Daisy to train and take her brother’s place in a high-stakes championship.

Determined to get her shot, Daisy catches the attention of washed-up pro rider Guy (Huber), who becomes her coach. Sparks fly, but there are snakes everywhere. Betrayed by those closest to her and a newcomer to the sport, Daisy must find the strength to ride.
