Working in fashion for over a decade, Green was recently the Special Projects Director at GQ Magazine and one of the magazine's leading fashion and culture voices, including a link to his work for GQ.

What a cast for this one. Personally, I am most excited to see Amber Midthunder on the cast list; she was so great in Prey and instantly joined my "I will watch anything she is in" list. Throw in Malkovich, and this becomes one of the most anticipated A24 releases, hands down. There is much more to come on this as we learn it; you can rest assured.
