Combustible Substances: Pete Ohs Filmed ‘Erupcja’ with Charli XCX & Jeremy O. Harris in Poland

Date:

Micro-budget American indie filmmaker Pete Ohs really doesn’t miss a beat. When he’s not directing—keeping up a steady pace with Youngstown (2021), Jethica (2022) and Love and Work (2024) — he might be on the editing dock with (e.g. Slave Play. Not a Movie. A Play.). And when he’s not in those functions, he is serving as a cinematographer — look out for Albert Birney’s OBEX, set to release in 2025. Now comes word that Erupcja (which was recently selected to participate in this year’s U.S.in Progress in Wroclaw) had a bitr more mustard on it. Players include Lena Góra (Roving Woman), Will Madden and two artists now firmly getting into the acting game in playwright Jeremy O. Harris and singer and songwriter Charli XCX. Filmed in Warsaw over the summer and now in post – Variety announced the news with this deep dive. We imagine the team will attempt to make a cut available for the upcoming Sundance Film Festival.

This centers on two women with a combustible relationship — one woman is Polish (Lena Góra and the other, named Bethany (Charli XCX) is visiting the country.
