Orphan Train is set in modern day Maine, and tells the intricate tale of two lives. Kline’s novel tells the stories of a 91-year-old Irish immigrant Vivian Daly, who was shipped from New York to Minnesota on the orphan train as a child and a 17-year-old Molly Ayer, who is on the brink of aging out of the foster care system. The two develop a very unlikely friendship when Molly is assigned the task of helping the older woman clean out her cluttered attic as part of her community service.Michael London and Janice Williams of Groundswell Productions will produce the feature film.

Tiffany- Diandra BotnickHi there,I’m Tiffany- Diandra Botnick and I am a 17 year old female from Toronto, Canada. Upon hearing about this book and the plans to turn it into a film, my first thoughts were that the friendship that the two main characters, Vivian Daly and Molly Ayer, possessed between each other would be beautiful to witness on screen and fascinating to watch how their friendship would change both of the characters, given their large age gap.I would like to say that I have had a moderate amount of acting and on-stage performances. I have taken Drama classes at my high school for the past three years. There, I have taken part in performances such as radio dramas, and monologues, as well as intensive drama performances along with the rest of my class. I have also done a performance for my Musical Theater class, titled ”Anything Goes”. While I played the role of the reporter in this production, I had the opportunity to act, sing and dance. To bring the end of the school year to a close, my class and I presented the hour-long musical to the rest of the school, which possessed over 2000 students. However, although this was my longest performance, it was not my only performance. I have also done various solo monologues, music performances where I have sang, and a few dance performances.I am 5”7 with brown hair, brown eyes and glasses. My ethnicity is Caucasian.Thank you,– Tiffany- Diandra Botnick This film possesses a magnificent plot. Please contact me. 1 Reply September 15, 2018

Marina BatalovaI think this is a really exciting project and hope to be a part of it! 0 Reply June 25, 2018
Marina BatalovaWow! What an amazing opportunity! I love when a novel is turned into a book. It brings the story to life more and gives two different perspectives. I love movies that incorporate the 19th/20th centuries. It sounds so exciting to be able to travel back in time, even for a little, and re-experience life back then. I don’t have much acting experience apart from church musicals and acting with my little brother in front of our parents 🙂 I would still really love to try out. I am trilingual (English, French, and Russian). I recently turned 16 and am 5’3. I have black hair and brown eyes, I know that probably doesn’t fit Molly’s description, but there are sure to be other roles right? Thank you so much for your willingness to do this movie and I would really look forward to trying out. 0 Reply June 22, 2018
Marina BatalovaWow! What an exciting opportunity! I love when novels are turned into movies. It gives people different perspectives and ways of looking at the same story. It brings the story to life. I absolutely love when the story takes place in the 19th/20th centuries. I love the aspect of being able to go back in time even for a little while and experience life back then. I don’t have much experience with acting apart from church musicals and acting at home with my little brother in front of my parents 🙂 but it would be a most exciting opportunity to try out and hopefully take part in helping to bring this novel to life through a movie. I am trilingual. (English, French, and Russian). I recently turned 16 years old. My height is 5’3, and I am from Ontario. I have black hair & brown eyes.

Destiny MorgadoI am a 16-year-old girl from Toronto, Ontario interested in the role of Molly Ayer. I haven’t had any professional acting experience, however, I played a major role in my high school’s original drama production. I’m geared towards dramas and am able to perform a dramatic scene with high efficiency. I’ve been told by many I’m very talented and should pursue acting as a career. I love the feeling of being able to convey a story that pulls at the heartstrings of others and nothing feels more relieving than to see you have brought someone to tears through your acting. -1 Reply March 17, 2018
