Actor turned director Thomas Dekker (Greg Araki’s Kaboom) is gearing up to start production on his third feature film, Lost in Jersey. The Vegas native is directing the 60s-set coming-of-age film that follows a friendship between students at an all-boys school who bond over their shared past with the same teacher. Lost in Jersey is shooting this fall.
Bravo exec Ian Gelfand (prod. Summer House) and Warner Horizon’s former head of unscripted talent Matt Nagorner are joining forces on a new venture. IM Trying Productions will develop and produce unscripted content with a home design show and a pop culture docu-series in the works.
Producer Nathan Kahane (Knives Out) is launching True North, a new indie film company backed by Entertainment 360. The banner will produce and finance artist-driven commercial films at modest budgets, rolling over projects from Kahane’s Lionsgate slate (John Wick, Hunger Games).
