Connor Storrie might be winning over the crowd now, but April X director Michel K. Parandi says he saw its potential long before Heated rivalry made him famous.
The director recently shared that he was impressed with Storrie from the moment they worked together April X.
In fact, he even remembers telling people that the young actor wanted to be a movie star one day.
Storrie stars alongside Lilly Krug in the upcoming film, which follows twins Bax and April in a dark future world.
When April disappears, Bax begins to search for her, but the journey slowly pushes him towards a breaking point.
Parandi shared that there was something about Storrie’s talent and screen presence that stood out right away.
Even before the actor gained a huge fan following, the director felt that he had what it takes to become a leading star.
That prediction now appears to be coming true.
Storrie’s role as Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry has brought him a lot of attention and helped make him one of the most talked about young actors on television.
Parandi added that he is excited to see the actor get the recognition he deserves and feels his recent success only confirms what he believed from the beginning.
April X is set to open this year’s Raindance Film Festival in London before arriving in cinemas later in 2026.
With Storrie’s popularity continuing to grow, there are now even more eyes on the film.
