Carlo Mendez has lined up a new project…

The 44-year-old Cuban American actor will star in writer-director Emmett Loverde’s The Maginot Line.

Mendez, the brother of actress Eva Mendes, joins a roster of new cast additions that includes Mara Marini, Diana Angelina, Alex Keener, Janna Bossier, Samantha Elizabeth Johnson Esq. and Mindy Montavon.

Based on Loverde’s play, the film tells of a young woman who is dismayed to find herself behaving like her own mother, with whom she has an extremely combative relationship.

The production companies are Kevin’s Entertainment and Emmett Loverde Sound and Picture. Hayato Mitsuishi produces.

Filming takes place this month in Los Angeles.

Mendez’s previous credits include Parks and Recreation, The Rich and the Ruthless and The Bay.
