[/size]From
Sonic Nurse to..."sadistic doctor"? That's the big screen turn we can expect out of
Kim Gordon in the
previously reported, forthcoming short film from director/screenwriter Alia Raza.
Pure White Light, as they're calling it, has been in production most of this month and also stars
Lavender Diamond's Becky Stark,
OK Go's Damian Kulash, and writer and fashion maven Liz Goldwyn.
According to Raza, "The movie is about self-identity in the age of aesthetics and consumerism. It tells the story of a woman's journey from insecure, lonely ingenue to jaded sophisticate."
That story was penned by
Miranda July, who met Raza through a
Me and You and Everyone We Know producer and suggested the budding director choose a short story from one of July's collections and adapt it for the screen.
Stark plays the aforementioned "lonely ingenue" (that's her with Raza pictured above), while Kulash plays Stark's husband "who may or may not love her," according to Raza. Goldwyn portrays "a catty friend."
Pure White Light will be submitted to festivals, with screenings in New York City and Los Angeles planned but not yet set in stone.
