Destry Allyn Spielberg Talks Feature Film Debut ‘Please Don’t Feed The Children’, Why Hollywood Should Cast Fresh Faces & Next Steps: “I Want To Start Careers – I’m Sick Of Seeing Movies That Lack Young Talent”
The director, who wants to shake up Hollywood, is launching her debut feature at Sitges, which stars Michelle Dockery and Giancarlo Esposito.
The project, which is led by Downton Abbey’ s Michelle Dockery and Breaking Bad ’s Giancarlo Esposito, follows a gang of orphans who travel to the south in search of a new life after a viral outbreak decimates the adult population of the nation, only to find themselves at the mercy of a psychotic woman who is hiding a perilous secret. Zoe Colletti ( Only Murders in the Building), Dean Scott Vazquez ( Transformers: Rise of the Beasts), Vernon Davis ( Chariot), Emma Meisel ( American Horror Story: 1984), Andrew Liner ( Vampire Academy), Reagan Aliyah ( Ironheart) and Joshuah Melnick ( Saint X) round out the cast for the low-budget indie project, which is produced by Jason Dubin and his Perry Street Films, Josh Kesselman, Michael Hagerty, Bill Kenwright and Daniel Ryniker. The burgeoning director, whose father is The Fableman’s helmer Steven Spielberg, was originally expected to make her debut with Ryan Hooper’s 2021 Black List Script Four Assassins (and a Funeral), a project she is no longer attached to, but ended up being drawn into doing something more in the genre space.
