Sydney Freeland, the director of the Emmy-nominated web series "Her Story" and the writer and director of the 2014 Sundance-selected film "Drunktown's Finest," is returning to Park City this month to debut her new Netflix movie "Deidra & Laney Rob a Train," which has received its first trailer.

Centering on two precocious teenage sisters who decide to steal from local freight trains to support their financially struggling family, this light-hearted film stars up-and-comer Ashleigh Murray (who will also be seen as Josie of "Josie and the Pussycats" in the upcoming CW Archie series "Riverdale") and singer-and-former Nickelodeon star Rachel Crow (who got her first break during the first season of the singing competition show "The X Factor").

The movie also stars Tim Blake Nelson (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) as a Pacific Railroad detective assigned to investigate the girls' well-planned-out break-ins. Other cast members include David Sullivan (Flaked), Danielle Nicolet (Central Intelligence), Missi Pyle (Gone Girl), and SNL comedienne Sasheer Zamata.

"Deidra & Laney Rob a Train" will premiere at Sundance next week before being released on Netflix on Friday, March 17th.
