Actress Kristen Dunst set to star in director Flora Birnbaum's debut film titled 'Self Help'.
In a thrilling new venture, actress Kristen Dunst is all set to star in Flora Birnbaum's debut feature film, titled Self Help. This exciting project is being produced by the legendary Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum.
According to reports from Variety, the film revolves around a woman named Sage, who finds herself lost in the labyrinth of Los Angeles and her own life after witnessing a hit-and-run. What follows is a rollercoaster ride of corporate conspiracies that swirl around her, tasking her far beyond her pay grade. As L.A. erupts in chaos and tensions reach boiling point, bodies pile up. Sage finds herself caught between a shady real estate tycoon and a dubious wannabe actor, playing the part of a detective.
Flora Birnbaum, the talented director of Self Help, is a 2017 Sundance New Voices Fellow and a force to be reckoned with. She has previously served as a writer and co-executive producer on Tell Me Lies and boasts additional writing credits on American Crime Story: Impeachment and Russian Doll, earning her two WGA award nominations.
Fionnuala Jamison, MK2 Films' managing director, expressed her enthusiasm for Birnbaum and Dunst, stating, "Flora Birnbaum is no exception. She has crafted a smart, darkly comic, and explosive script, and we can't wait to see Kirsten Dunst bring Sage, the burned-out millennial sound healer turned private detective, to life."
As of now, the release date for Self Help is yet to be unveiled. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on this highly anticipated film!
