10 Things You Didn't Know About Melissa Benoist

9. And They're Kickstarting A Film Together

Now that their time on Glee is over, newlyweds Jenner and Benoist are looking at finding other ways of ensuring they can stay busy with acting while spending time together, and the most notable example is the movie they're working on: Billy Boy. While Glee may have been a major hit, and Benoist is now a star thanks to Supergirl, that doesn't mean it's easy to get these projects going, so the couple took to Kickstarter in order to get the movie funded. It made more than the $100k required, with over two months to go before its deadline. The film tells of "a young man's pursuit of redemption of self-discovery... on a teen who was born into the wrong life." Jenner has written the film, and both he and Benoist will star, with the latest update being that it was in post-production.
