Grace Period centers on Willa (Greene), who impulsively decides to freeze her eggs with the help of Dr. Rubin, played by Emmy-nominated actor Matt Walsh. Things get complicated when she soon meets her ideal guy, Greg (Green), and ends up navigating this journey with the help of both men.
The indie film reunites Facinelli with Greene, his former co-star in the Twilight franchise, and Green, who starred with him in the 1998 teen rom-com Can't Hardly Wait.

'I'm thrilled to be back in the director's chair for Grace Period, a film that explores a timely subject matter with heart, while delivering some much-needed laughter in the world today,' Facinelli says. 'Having known Seth and Ashley for what feels like an 'eternity,' I Can't Hardly Wait to helm their incredible talent onscreen together. With Wango Films and Peter Winther producing, and a stellar supporting cast, we're creating something truly special that audiences are going to love.'
Facinelli's previous feature credits as a director include The Vanished and Breaking & Exiting.
Greene is represented by Gersh and Untitled Entertainment. Green is repped by UTA, Sloane Offer and Untitled Entertainment. Walsh is repped by UTA and Artist First. Facinelli is repped by Paradigm and Burstein Company. Harrison is repped by Verve and Art2Perform.
