Sawyer And Raye Lavine Spielberg Set To Star In Indie Thriller Short ‘Pink Flags’
deadline.comActors Sawyer and Raye Spielberg are set to star in the dark comedy thriller, Pink Flags, written and directed by indie filmmaker Misha Calvert.
The real-life married couple will play opposite each other as a feisty figure skater named Liberty (Raye) who turns the tables on an inept stalker (Sawyer) while preparing for a high-stakes skating competition.
Production has started this month in New York City. The short film calls upon the female gaze to help audiences connect to the emotional and psychological experience of stalking and assault, while using dark humor and a captivating aesthetic in the style of classic 1970’s paranoia cinema. “I think it’s so interesting how [Pink Flags] plays with the line between spectator and voyeur,” said Raye about the themes of the script. “The main character, this fiercely-independent free bird, finds it more comforting to gaslight herself than pronounce herself a victim,” added Raye.
The cast is rounded out by Nick Creegan (Batwoman) playing Liberty’s best friend, and Lana Young (Southpaw) as her ice skating coach.
