Since garnering an Oscar nomination for his turn as Igor in Sean Baker’s Anora, Borisov has been tapped to star opposite Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro in Artificial, Luca Guadagnino’s new AI-themed film for Amazon MGM Studios. As an actress, Mortimer has also worked with top filmmakers including Aaron Sorkin ( The Newsroom), Martin Scorsese ( Shutter Island, Hugo), Woody Allen ( Match Point), Rob Marshall ( Mary Poppins), and Craig Gillespie ( Lars and the Real Girl), among others.
