Actors Flula Borg and Troy Kotsur have finished filming The American Winner, a satirical horror movie directed by Farbod Ardebili.
The production wrapped its Los Angeles shoot for the debut feature from Iranian writer-director Farbod Ardebili. The story centers on a tech billionaire played by Borg who protects a strange being after an accidental impregnation, with the entire narrative unfolding inside a bathroom.
Producers include Dane and Cole Eckerle of Bad Grey along with Daniel Brandt and Mark Finley of Plain Text. Additional cast members are Ashby Gentry, Misha Osherovich, Toks Olagundoye, Lorena Gonzalez and Shavvon Lin.
Brandt described the project as a tech update of American Psycho mixed with The Thing. Ardebili, who moved to the United States in 2014, previously directed shorts that screened at Fantastic Fest and Fantasia.
