Kiersey Clemons To Star In Sophie Kargman’s Dark Comedy ‘Susie Searches’

141 Entertainment today announced their upcoming feature film, dark comedy thriller Susie Searches starring Kiersey Clemons (Antebellum, Hearts Beat Loud, Dope) in the title role. Sophie Kargman (Query) will direct the feature film which she developed with William Day Frank (Hibernation) who penned the script, based on their short film of the same name. Clemons will also serve as an executive producer on the project.

Susie Searches centers on Susie (Clemons), an awkward college student who seizes the opportunity to bolster her popularity— and her overlooked true-crime podcast— by solving the disappearance of a classmate. But as her investigation proceeds, we realize that the truth and Susie aren’t at all what they seem... The film is now in development with production due to start in London early next year.

Adam Mirels and Robbie Mirels will produce under their 141 Entertainment banner, with Nicola Smith executive producing. The 141 producing duo has received acclaim for past titles including; Ingrid Goes West and Marjorie Prime.

Clemons boasts an impressive slate including starring roles in Disney’s most recent iteration of Lady and the Tramp, Amazon’s The Only Living Boy in New York, and the indie darlings, Dope, Sweetheart and Hearts Beat Loud.  She also appears as “Iris West” in the upcoming release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League.  Clemons most recently executive produced the scripted podcast, Ghost Tape alongside Automatik and QCode and will produce and star in the upcoming AGC feature based on the story of Lauren Simmons.
