Charli XCX Teams Up with A24 for 'The Moment'

In an exciting development for fans of both film and music, pop sensation Charli XCX is set to star and produce a new feature film titled “The Moment,” collaborating with the acclaimed film studio A24. This project marks a significant milestone as the inaugural venture under her newly established production company, Studio365.

Plot and Creative Team

Details about the plot remain tightly under wraps, but what we do know is that “The Moment” will be directed by Scottish filmmaker Aidan Zamiri, who is making his feature directorial debut. Zamiri co-wrote the screenplay alongside Bertie Brandes, ensuring a fresh perspective that blends visual artistry with innovative storytelling. Adding to the film’s allure, A. G. Cook, who has been a significant creative force behind Charli’s music – particularly her popular album “Brat” – will be composing the score for the film.

Production Team and Distribution

Production is spearheaded by David Hinojosa through his company 2AM, with executive producers Brandon Creed, Mikey Schwartz-Wright, and Zach Nutman lending their expertise to the project. A24, known for its high-quality and often boundary-pushing films, will handle the global distribution of “The Moment,” promising a large-scale release that could propel Charli into a new realm of fame and success in Hollywood.

Charli's Recent Achievements

This announcement comes on the heels of Charli leading the nominations for the Brit Awards, securing an impressive five nods in categories such as Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. In addition to her work on “The Moment,” the pop star has been on a roll with several film projects. She is set to appear in a variety of films including Daniel Goldhaber’s reimagining of “Faces of Death,” the adventure comedy “Sacrifice” by Romain Gavras, and Julia Jackman’s “100 Nights of Hero” alongside rising stars like Nicholas Galitzine and Emma Corrin. Furthermore, her role in Gregg Araki’s “I Want Your Sex” promises to showcase her versatility, sharing the screen with notable talents like Olivia Wilde and Natalie Portman in Cathy Yan's “The Gallerist.”
