Yahoo Lifestyle Julia Fox to Star in LGBTQ Romantic Drama ‘Perfect’ (EXCLUSIVE)

“Perfect” is set at a scenic-but-rundown lakeside resort in the California mountains in a time where climate change has contaminated the water supply. Fox will play a wealthy pregnant woman who is living out an escapist fantasy as she falls in love with a younger woman (Moore). Their sudden relationship is complicated by an upcoming birth, turbulent social events and clashing values about the world’s uncertain future.
Wittman will portray a town local who guides Moore’s character through the obstacles that arise during her fractured romantic experience with Fox’s character. Lio Mehiel (“Mutt”) and Debi Mazar (“Younger,” “Goodfellas”) are in talks to join the cast.
MacKenzie Monroe, Liz Cardenas, Douglas Riggs, Tyler Payne will produce, while Fox will serve as executive producer with Kari Skogland. Nathan Scherrer and Tara Sheree of Freenjoy Productions (“Jennifer Lopez – This Is Me… Now: The Love Story”) will also produce along with Douglas Riggs and Tyler Payne of Steak and Rosé and Liz Cardenas (“A Ghost Story”).
Fox will be seen next in Steven Soderbergh’s ghost drama “Presence,” co-starring Lucy Liu, as well as Monkeypaw’s sports horror thriller “Him,” produced by Jordan Peele. She is repped by Framework Entertainment, Envisionary Management, WME, The Initiative Group and Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham.
