Little Lorraine is a 2025 Canadian crime drama film, directed by Andy Hines.[2] Hines's debut feature following a career directing music videos, the film centres on the true story of the small town of Little Lorraine, Nova Scotia, a small seaside fishing village which became embroiled in an international cocaine smuggling ring in the 1980s.[3]
The film stars Stephen Amell, Sean Astin and J Balvin in his acting debut,[4] as well as Matt Walsh, Rhys Darby, Stephen McHattie, Steve Lund, Sugar Lyn Beard, Hugh Thompson, Mike Dopud, Kaelen Ohm, Joshua Close, Auden Thornton, Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz, Mark A. Owen, Dax Ravina, Luis Javier and David Mortimer in supporting roles.
Singer-songwriter Adam Baldwin previously wrote about the story in his 2022 single "Lighthouse in Little Lorraine". Hines directed that song's video, and subsequently used it as his proof of concept to shop the film version around to film studios.[3]
The film was shot in Nova Scotia and Ontario in summer 2024.[2]
Distribution
The film premiered in the Discovery program at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 5, 2025.[5] It was also screened as the Atlantic Gala at the 2025 Atlantic International Film Festival.[6]
