EXCLUSIVE: Kelly Marie Tran (The Wedding Banquet) and David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil) are set to topline Kodak SuperXX, a psychological thriller marking the feature directorial debut of Auden Bui, which is going into production this year.
Written by Tony Rettenmaier (They Cloned Tyrone), the indie is set against an atmospheric Los Angeles and follows Linh (Tran), a quiet woman whose solitary life revolves around her work as a darkroom developer at one of the city’s last boutique photo labs.
Her quiet existence takes a paranoid turn when she becomes entangled with a mysterious stranger (Dastmalchian), whose photographs reveal a dark secret.
Tonally, the project is compared to to Nightcrawler and Francis Ford Coppola’s classic The Conversation. Dastmalchian and Jen Iacobino will produce under their Good Fiend Films banner (Late Night with the Devil), alongside Rettenmaier & Juel Taylor (They Cloned Tyrone, Creed II) and Death Ground’s Jesse Ford, Josh Feldman, and Sean King O’Grady (I Love My Dad, The Assistant).
