Jack Huston and Abbie Cornish have been cast in the upcoming drama, ‘I’m Beginning To See The Light’. The film will be the first English-language feature by Russian director Konstantin Khudiakov.

The film will follow Ezra (Huston), a depressed jazz trumpeter who searches for purpose and salvation after the sudden, tragic death of his wife and daughter. When he is mistaken for the new lighthouse keeper, Ezra meets Hannah (Cornish), a local school teacher who, along with music, reignites his passion for life.

Veteran Khudiakov began his career in the early 1960s as an actor before turning to directing. He has directed more than 20 films and numerous TV series, including the mini-series “The Road To Calvary”, which won several awards in Russia and is shown on Netflix.

The story is based on a screenplay by writer Mark Bacci. Production on the film is expected to begin this spring.
