In the bittersweet comedy THE MNEMONIST OF DUTCHESS COUNTY, campus security guard Milo Masowski's determination to woo a lovely local bar owner is only hampered by one thing: an unlimited memory, which makes him spout out pretty much every unromantic thing he's ever heard in his life.

The cast of THE MNEMONIST OF DUTCHESS COUNTY includes Aaron Costa Ganis, Ava Eisenson, Malcolm Madera, Jessica Varley, Henry Vick and Brit Whittle.

THE MNEMONIST OF DUTCHESS COUNTY has set design by Julia Noulin-Merat, costume design by Travis Chinick, lighting design by David Upton and sound design by Stowe Nelson. The casting director is Lexie Pregosin.
