Alison Eastwood is poised to make her directorial debut with RAILS AND TIES for Warner Independent Pictures, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The drama is being produced through Clint Eastwood's Malpaso Prods.

RAILS AND TIES is based on an original screenplay by Micky Levy and revolves around two families and their physical, emotional and psychological collision. The story begins on a beautiful stretch of the California coastline, where a suicidal mother parks her car on a railroad crossing and awaits the arrival of a speeding train with her 9-year-old son in the car.

Rob Lorenz is producing and overseeing the production for Malpaso, which has been based on the Warners lot for more than 30 years.
