In the world of entertainment, two notable figures are making waves in the film industry - Charli XCX and Pete Ohs. Both are set to premiere their films at the highly anticipated Toronto Film Festival.

Pete Ohs, known for his work on the fantasy adventure "Obex," co-written, produced, and shot by him, has also directed and produced the acclaimed deadpan horror-satire "Jethica." This film, which premiered at SXSW in 2022, has been well-received by critics.

Meanwhile, Charli XCX, the pop star turned actress, is making her mark in the film world with her diverse roles. She is starring in several upcoming films, including "Erupcja," a romantic movie produced by Ohs, Jeremy O. Harris, Charli XCX herself, Luke Arreguin, and Josh Godfrey. The company Magnify will handle the international sales of the film before its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.

"Erupcja" follows the story of two women who complicate their romantic lives, with Charli XCX playing Bethany, who visits Warsaw with a new boyfriend. The movie takes an unexpected turn when a volcano erupts during Bethany's visit. Nel (Góra), who works at a flower shop in Warsaw, is also part of the cast, along with Will Madden ("Jethica") and Agata Trzebuchowska ("Ida").

Charli XCX's performances don't end there. She is also in Cathy Yan's "The Gallerist" with Natalie Portman and Jenna Ortega, Gregg Araki's "I Want Your Sex" alongside Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman, and the next film from horror auteur Takashi Miike.

In addition, Charli XCX is starring in her pop star mockumentary "The Moment," directed by Aidan Zamiri, and Romain Gavras' upcoming action-adventure "Sacrifice." Charli XCX's dedication to her craft is evident as she aims to conquer the film world with her versatile roles.

Pete Ohs' film "The True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tick" also premiered at SXSW this year. CAA Media Finance represents the domestic rights for "Erupcja," ensuring its reach to a wide audience. The movie "Erupcja" is set to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in the Centrepiece section.

These upcoming films promise an exciting blend of romance, action, and horror, with Charli XCX and Pete Ohs at the helm. Their work is a testament to their creativity and versatility, making them ones to watch in the film industry.
