(LOS ANGELES, CA) May 20, 2010 – Jon Lindstrom, best
known for his work in daytime television, (currently starring as
Craig Montgomery on As the World Turns (for
which he received a 2010 Emmy Lead Actor nomination), will
return to the big screen in the upcoming feature film, "You
Can’t Have It All".
The film, a romantic comedy about self-discovery that draws a
distinction between contentment and happiness, stars Lindstrom,
Wendie Malick ("Just Shoot Me!", "Pushing Daisies"), and Chris
Murrah in his feature film debut.
Multi-millionaire/socialite Paul Grecco (Lindstrom) seems to
have it all. Or does he? After selling his lucrative business,
he’s faced with retirement, and more money and time on his hands
than he knows what to do with. The sudden changes in his life
cause his overbearing (but well-meaning) sister Elise (Malick)
to decide that giving Paul a dog would be the perfect solution.
With little else to do, Paul assumes the daily dog-walking
routine in the park, where he encounters Andy Chance (Murrah), a
gay advertising whiz, who happens to walk his dog on the very
same schedule. What starts as a casual daily meeting in the
park, eventually develops into something more. Soon Paul is
questioning his life choices and must decide between the
contentment he thought he had and the happiness he comes to
realize has eluded him.
"’You Can’t Have It All’ sort of takes this lighthearted look
at people’s misperceptions -- of others and themselves," said
Lindstrom, "It was great to work with Jay, the crew and the rest
of the cast. I am really proud of the work, and to be a part of
the film."
The film, directed by Jay Arnold, written by Arnold & Thom
Cardwell, and produced by Fred Caruso, is in post-production. It
is expected to premiere sometime this summer in the film’s
setting of Philadelphia – and just in time for the festival
circuit!

developing new projects. He's the co-writer (along with sometime
writing partner Tom Schanley) and executive producer of the
breakout film, The Hard Easy with Vera Farmiga,
