Christian will play a grieving man in 2035 who turns to groundbreaking technology to reunite with an artificial intelligence-generated version of his deceased fiancée, played by Kaiser. But as he delves deeper into their virtual encounters, Christian’s character notices something is off kilter with her programming.

Besides playing Mike Montgomery on Pretty Little Liars , Christian recently had a regular series role on the CW show All American , where he played Asher Adams for six seasons. He is also the voice of the iconic mercenary Cloud Strife in the Final Fantasy role playing video games for Square Enix, and was nominated for a BAFTA Award for performer in a leading role.

RJ Zabasky will make his feature directorial debut with SYNC , which he also wrote and is set to shoot in Los Angeles this Fall. The ensemble cast includes Jake Ebright, Abigaille Ozrey, Emily Ozrey, Jill Lover and Frederick Trankels.
