Alana Haim, the multifaceted singer-songwriter and integral member of the rock trio Haim, is embarking on a captivating journey into the world of acting, following her stellar debut in Paul Thomas Anderson's critically acclaimed film, Licorice Pizza. With her passion for performing ignited, Haim has secured two consecutive feature film roles, each brimming with prestige and star power.
Currently, Haim is immersed in the production of The Mastermind, a pulse-pounding art heist drama starring the talented Josh O'Connor and helmed by the acclaimed director Kelly Reichardt. This thrilling foray is merely the prelude to her next endeavor: The Drama, a thought-provoking feature from visionary filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli, who also penned the script. Joining Haim in this cinematic odyssey are none other than Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, portraying a couple whose impending nuptials are suddenly shrouded in mystery and turmoil as unforeseen revelations shatter their perceptions of each other. The film delves deep into the complexities of love's blind spots, exploring the intricacies of human emotion and relationships.
Produced by the esteemed trio of Neil Kopp, Anish Savjani, and Vincent Savino of filmscience, The Drama is being financed and distributed by Mubi, the global film distributor, production company, and streaming service, showcasing its commitment to bold and boundary-pushing storytelling. With cameras rolling later this month, Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen, and Tyler Campbellone of Square Peg are leading the charge on this emotionally charged project.
As a member of Haim, Alana Haim has garnered two Grammy nominations, graced the stage of Saturday Night Live, and crafted chart-topping hits like "Want You Back" and "Little of Your Love." Her foray into acting with Pizza marked a triumphant debut, earning her accolades including a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical, as well as BAFTA and Critics' Choice nominations. Pizza, a 2021 comedic drama co-starring Cooper Hoffman and directed by Anderson himself, a longtime admirer of the band who has directed several of their music videos, further cemented her status as a rising star in Hollywood.
Now, Haim's star continues to shine brightly as she prepares for her next cinematic chapter, representing her evolution as both an artist and an actress. Represented by UTA, Entertainment 360, and Hansen Jacobson, Haim's journey is one to watch as she continues to defy boundaries and captivate audiences worldwide.
