EXCLUSIVE: U.S. financier Mizzel Media has backed its second movie: indie feature Rebel Girl, starring Oscar nominee Amy Madigan (Twice in a Lifetime), newcomer Sadie Jensen-Blank (#Horror) and Erik Jensen (The Walking Dead).

New York-based Mizzel, which earlier this year invested in The Girl From Köln, the next film from Holy Spider and The Tale outfit One Two Films, is overseen by producer and veteran manager Lillian LaSalle.

Rebel Girl, currently filming in Minnesota under a SAG IA, is being helmed by co-writing-directing team Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen with a script co-written by Han Shan.
