EXCLUSIVE: Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus) has wrapped a lead role in American Fever Dream, an indie drama marking the feature directorial debut of Jaclyn Noel, which also stars Christopher Convery (Prisoner’s Daughter), Julian Morris (Pretty Little Liars), and Spenser Granese (Marty Supreme).
Written and directed by Noel, American Fever Dream spans nearly two decades and follows a hopeful middle-class family as they slowly descend into poverty, revealing the devastating collapse of the American Dream.
Daddario stars as Carrie, a mother struggling to hold her family together as their circumstances steadily deteriorate. Convery plays her son James, with Morris portraying her husband, Bo. No word yet on Granese’s role.
American Fever Dream is produced by Apoorva Guru Charan (Joyland, Take Me Home) through her All Caps banner, alongside Nick Young, Noel, Lauren Mann (Swiss Army Man, The Card Counter), Daddario, and Heather Francis.
Emmy nominated for her work on HBO’s The White Lotus, Daddario will soon wrap production on Season 3 of AMC’s Mayfair Witches. Most recently, she appeared in Tommy Dorfman’s I Wish You All the Best, adapted from the Mason Deaver novel, and Nora Kirkpatrick’s A Tree Fell in the Woods opposite Josh Gad, Ashley Park, and Daveed Diggs. This November, she’ll be seen starring opposite Finn Wittrock in Hershey, a biopic exploring the complex legacy of the Hershey chocolate dynasty. She is repped by CAA, Untitled Entertainment, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
Seen recently in the indies Prisoner’s Daughter and Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game, Convery is repped by Paradigm, Untitled Entertainment, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
