Carlson Young jumps into the rom com genre with the new film Upgraded. A love story that initiates up in the air and makes it’s a touchdown in London with a touch of colorful drama.

The Synopsis 

In this romantic comedy, Ana Santos (Camila Mendes, “Riverdale”) is a smart and ambitious art enthusiast with dreams of running her own gallery. She is currently paying dues as an unpaid trainee at a premiere NYC auction house, run by the influential and demanding Claire Dupont (Marisa Tomei, “My Cousin Vinny”). When Ana is sent on her first work trip and gets unexpectedly upgraded to first class, she meets the handsome and well-connected Will (Archie Renaux, “Morbius”), who mistakes Ana for her boss– a white lie that sets off a series of fortuitous events and VIP introductions that suddenly have Ana winning at work and caught up in a whirlwind romance she never expected. However, this little white lie begins to unravel, threatening to ruin Ana’s career and newfound romance.

The Texan actress left the big state for Los Angeles where she started her career in the entertainment industry as an actress. One of her earlier projects was the Disney Channel’s, As The Bell Rings. Some of her popular projects are Premature and MTV’s Scream: The TV Series. Young made her debut as a writer and director in the short film The horror thriller The Blazing that was also made into a full length premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in 2021. The next project will be A Pity alongside Sarah Carter.
