deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: The life and career of Brandon Truaxe, founder of cosmetics conglomerate DECIEM, is set for the big screen treatment.
Real Friends Media and The Donaldson Company, led by producers Lana Belle Mauro (Hip Hop Evolution, Once Were Brothers) and Mackenzie Donaldson (Orphan Black, Snowpiercer), respectively, are partnering to produce a doc titled The Abnormal Beauty Company, which will examine Truaxe through his most successful brand, The Ordinary.
