Stay Fly LLC announced that Dwight Yoakam (“Sling Blade,” “Panic Room”) joined the cast of Sabyn Mayfield’s directorial debut, “Boomtown,” a tale of a man with modern day oil fever. He joins previously announced newcomer Tyler Riggs, Boyd Holbrook (“Narcos,” “Gone Girl”), Rachel Brosnahan (“House of Cards,” “Louder Than Bombs”) and Jocelin Donahue (“Knight of Cups”). “Boomtown” is currently completing production in Los Angeles.
“Boomtown” follows one man’s journey, John “JT” Turner (Tyler Riggs) to Williston, North Dakota, home of the modern day Gold Rush. In an effort to make ends meet, he leaves his family behind to pursue a grueling, yet highly coveted, job in a now booming oil industry. Along the way, he encounters the trials and tribulations shared by thousands of Americans every year as they stake their claim on the American Dream.
