EXCLUSIVE: Margaret Colin (Independence Day) has signed on to lead the indie flick Tox.
Written and directed by Kerri Lynn Miller in her feature directorial debut, the film also stars Gracie McGraw. Miller also stars in the film. Her acting credits include FBI: Most Wanted, The Blacklist, and Shades of Blue.
The film follows a perfection-obsessed woman who, after decades of transforming herself, eagerly returns to her high school reunion— convinced that her newfound beauty will rewrite her past and win the validation she believes will fix her life.
“Tox explores the addictive nature of perfectionism and the devastating grip of body dysmorphia, a condition that affects over 10 million people in the U.S. alone,” Miller said in a statement. “This film is a deeply personal, thrilling, and thought-provoking examination of society’s obsession with beauty, and self-worth.”
The ensemble is rounded out by Alex Hernandez, Kate Miller, Ryan Cooper, Kelly Deadmon, Ian Lyons, Rebecca Lynn Goldfarb, Sandra Fay Williams, and Senzel Ahmady.
Produced by Sisterhood Productions in association with Worldwide Entertainment and Media, Tox is produced by Kerri Lynn Miller, Pierre Romain, and Neil Grabowsky, with executive producers Julie Solinger, Richard D’Angelo, and David Rubinstein. Isabella Medina Sarria serves as co-producer.
The film is supported by Pass The Crown Around, an initiative for women to promote and kickstart their businesses with unique collaborations, storytelling, and special events.
McGraw is represented by CAA and Jeremy Katz and Clay Mills at The Katz Company.
Margaret is represented by Innovative Artists and Framework Entertainment.
