You may not know the name Jordana Spiro, but there’s a good chance you’ve seen some of her work as an actress. My first encounter with her was during the TBS sitcom My Boys, and since then she has kept busy on Ozark, The Mob Doctor, Blindspot, and more. At Sundance she entered a different phase of her career as director of the drama Night Comes On, which earned her the Next Innovator Award a ton of praise, and now the trailer’s first release.
Starring Dominique Fishback, who you may know from HBO’s The Deuce, alongside Tatum Marilyn Hall, the story follows two sisters, one newly released from juvenile detention, as they seek revenge for their mother’s death. Spiro not only directed but co-wrote the script with Angelica Nwandu, founder of celebrity site The Shade Room.
Night Comes On hits select cities and VOD on August 3rd.
