Stephen Gyllenhaal's independent feature film, Grassroots, produced by MRB Productions, who also represents Gyllenhaal for commercials, has just been selected as the Closing Night Film for the 2012 Seattle International Film Festival, on June 10.

Based on a true story, Grassroots stars Jason Biggs (American Pie), Lauren Ambrose ("Six Feet Under"), Cedric The Entertainer (Barbershop), and Cobie Smulders (The Avengers).

Set in Seattle, Grassroots is a character-driven drama showcasing the power people have to spark a political movement.

"The selection as Closing Night Film for the Seattle Film Festival couldn't be any more ideal, since our film is a true Seattle story and the film will be opening there a few weeks later," said Producer Matthew Brady.

In addition to this year's DGA nomination for Girl Fight, Gyllenhaal has been busy directing hit series like "The Mentalist," "Blue Bloods," and the upcoming "Sworn to Silence," starring Neve Campbell.
