“Country Crush is a demonstration of the power of music, the bond of brotherhood and the boundless possibilities of love. UFE is delighted to be distributing this film to a wide audience of country music fans and romantics of all ages,” said Susan Curran, President of Marketing and Development at United Front Entertainment.
Also starring Canadian teen television star Munro Chambers (Degrassi, The Latest Buzz) and reality television star Sophie Simmons (Gene Simmons: Family Jewels, Shannon & Sophie), Country Crush is available for preorder on Walmart.ca and Amazon.ca.

Country Crush opens with city girl and aspiring singer Nancy Taylor travelling to the countryside with best friend Ainsley for a weekend getaway. When Nancy’s car breaks down, fate introduces her to Charlie Bishop. Charlie, a good-hearted country boy, becomes immediately enchanted with Nancy and yet struggles to find the courage to ask her out on a date. After his older brother Cody is shipped out on another tour of duty, Charlie gains the courage to follow Nancy to the big city and pursue the romance. The relationship begins with promise, but the demands of Nancy’s budding career causes Charlie to question the relationship and to remember the importance of making the hard choices in life when staying true to oneself.
