Jane Schoenbrun is back with their third feature, the amazingly-titled “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.”
Schoenbrun, who previously wrote and directed 2021’s “We’re All Going to the World’s Fair” and 2024’s “I Saw the TV Glow,” wrote and directed “Camp Miasma” as well. Starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson, the film is set for theatrical release via Mubi on August 7. Along with the date announcement, two first look images from the film were released.
Per the press release, the film has a meta premise: “After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection. But when she visits the original movie’s star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.”
The film also will also continue Schoenbrun’s “body of work shaped by themes of trans identity and queer horror,” per the press release.
The cast also includes Amanda Fix, Arthur Conti, Eva Victor, Zach Cherry, Sarah Sherman, Patrick Fischler, Dylan Baker, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Quintessa Swindell, Kevin McDonald and Jack Haven. Plan B produced the film, which Mubi financed. The film is set to be released in North America, Latin America, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Benelux, Spain, Italy, Turkey, India, Australia and New Zealand. The Match Factory is handling remaining worldwide sales. Executive producer Daniel Bekerman from Scythia Films provided local production services.
In addition to the new film, Schoenbrun is also publishing their debut novel, “Public Access Afterworld,” this year via Hogarth. Schoenbrun is also set to write, direct and produce a series adaptation of the graphic novel “Black Hole” for Netflix.
