Best known for last year’s surprise Sundance breakout Ghostlight (but we took notice back with 2019’s tragicomedy Saint Frances – the SXSW competition section selection), the tandem of Alex Thompson and Kelly O’Sullivan are gaining more traction and Variety reports that they just wrapped up (again under the radar) a feature that looks to involve people of all ages. Led by Sophie Okonedo, Katherine Mallen Kupferer, Chloe Coleman and Tara Mallen, Mouse looks to be an ensemble that also features Iman Vellani, David Hyde Pierce plus newcomers Beck Nolan, Addisyn Cain, Audrey Grace Marshall and Christopher R. Ellis. Sundance programmers will be tracking this one.
Written by O’Sullivan, this is the story of best friends Minnie (Katherine Mallen Kupferer) and Callie (Chloe Coleman), whose relationship is upended on the eve of their senior year. This includes the backdrop of North Little Rock, Ark. Producers include Chelsea Krant, Pierce Cravens and Little Engine’s Thompson, with Abigail Rose Solomon, Bonnie Comely, Stewart Lane, Steven A. Jones, Ian Keiser and Alex Wilson.
