That’s Not Me.
Aussie indie comedy That’s Not Me, director Gregory Erdstein’s feature debut, has wrapped principal photography and is currently in post.
Erdstein co-wrote the film with actor Alice Foulcher and shot it over the past nine months in Melbourne and Los Angeles.
It follows the story of Polly, whose dreams of making it as an actor are shattered when her identical twin sister Amy lands a plum role in an HBO show and starts dating Jared Leto.
Mistaken for her famous sister at every turn, Polly decides to use her sister’s celebrity for her own advantage – free clothes, free booze, casual sex – with disastrous consequences for them both.
That’s Not Me stars Isabel Lucas and Offspring’s Richard Davies alongside newcomer Foulcher.
The ensemble cast also includes Andrew O’Keefe (Deal or No Deal, Weekend Sunrise), Andrew Gilbert (Kiss or Kill, Round the Twist), Nikita Leigh-Pritchard (Please Like Me), Steve Mouzakis (Prison Break), Ming Zhu-Hii (The Ex-PM), Benjamin Rigby (Alien: Covenant), Arthur Angel (Red Dog), with, as well as rising talents Belinda Misevski and Rowan Davie.
Erdstein and Foulcher are both graduates of the VCA Film School and have collaborated on several short films (including their 2014 Tropfest finalist A Bit Rich).
The script for That’s Not Me was developed during an eight-month writing residency at Paris’ Cité des Arts Internationale.
That’s Not Me will scree at the MIFF 37°South market. The film has yet to set an official release date.
