Harris Pictures Announces Development of THE WAY WE'RE GOING, a $22 Million Las Vegas Romantic Drama Ahead of AFM 2026MALIBU, Calif. — November 10, 2026 — Harris Pictures announces the development of THE WAY WE'RE GOING, a feature-length romantic drama with a proposed production budget of $22 million. Written by Aces Harris, founder, actor, producer, and writer of Harris Pictures, the film is based on his novel of the same name and explores ambition, redemption, second chances, and the difficult choices between love and personal success.
Set against the vibrant nightlife and entertainment culture of Las Vegas, the project is part of Harris Pictures' seven-film development slate being positioned for financing, production partnerships, and worldwide distribution opportunities surrounding the 2026 American Film Market.
Second Chances. High Stakes. Real Love.
THE WAY WE'RE GOING follows Lily, an ambitious singer who comes to Las Vegas determined to protect her career and build a successful future.
Ethan appears to offer everything she could want: professional success, stability, status, and a seemingly secure future.
But Dylan, a pool hustler with a troubled past and an independent spirit, challenges Lily's expectations and forces her to reconsider what truly matters.
As relationships become increasingly complicated, Lily must navigate the competing demands of ambition, emotional security, and genuine connection.
In a city where fortunes can change overnight, the characters confront a fundamental question: Is success defined by the life they planned or by the people who make that life meaningful?
The story combines romantic tension, personal transformation, and the high-stakes atmosphere of Las Vegas with an emotionally grounded exploration of love and identity.
A $22 Million Romantic Drama
Harris Pictures is developing THE WAY WE'RE GOING around a proposed $22 million production budget, with an emphasis on cinematic production values, compelling performances, and authentic Las Vegas environments.
The film's visual approach is intended to capture the contrast between the city's glamorous public image and the intimate personal struggles of its characters.
Potential production elements include:
- Las Vegas nightlife, entertainment venues, and resort environments.
- Musical performance sequences highlighting Lily's professional ambitions.
- Pool hall sequences reflecting Dylan's competitive world and personal history.
- Character-driven romantic scenes emphasizing emotional authenticity.
- Cinematic nighttime photography showcasing the atmosphere and energy of Las Vegas.
The proposed production strategy aims to balance the scale of a commercially oriented theatrical feature with the emotional intimacy expected of a contemporary romantic drama.
From Novel to Feature Film
THE WAY WE'RE GOING is being developed as a screen adaptation of Aces Harris's novel.
The literary property provides a foundation for the film's characters, relationships, and themes, while creating opportunities for coordinated publishing and entertainment promotion.
Harris Pictures is exploring marketing approaches that could connect the novel and proposed feature film through author appearances, digital campaigns, promotional video content, and potential book-related events.
These initiatives are intended to introduce the story to audiences during development and support future film marketing efforts.
Commercial Positioning and Worldwide Distribution
Harris Pictures envisions THE WAY WE'RE GOING as a contemporary romantic drama with potential appeal to audiences interested in emotionally compelling relationships, music, personal ambition, and stories of second chances.
The Las Vegas setting provides a recognizable international backdrop, while the story's central themes are designed to resonate beyond geographic and cultural boundaries.
The company is pursuing opportunities involving independent film financing, production partnerships, international sales representation, and domestic and worldwide distribution.
The 2026 American Film Market provides an opportunity to introduce the project to potential industry collaborators and explore its commercial positioning.
Financing, casting, production dates, and distribution arrangements remain subject to future agreements and announcements.

THE WAY WE'RE GOING joins six additional feature projects in development:
- Choke — Motorcycle action thriller
