  ELECTRA is the feature debut of Bahraini director Hala Matar, known for her music videos and audacious commercial work with Moncler, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Kenzo and Vivenne Westwood. The film is a millennial/Gen-Z riff on "La Piscine" and a dash of "Saltburn" with a cast led by Academy Award® nominee Maria Bakalova ("Bodies Bodies Bodies," "Borat 2"), Abigail Cowen (star of Netflix’s hit series "Fate: the Winx Saga," "Redeeming Love") and Jack Farthing ("Spencer," 2024 Independent Spirit Award nominee for HBO/Max’s "Rain Dogs") along with Daryl Wein, who also produced and co-wrote the screenplay. Wein directed the Sundance 2021 pic "How It Ends," which was acquired by MGM, and most recently directed the romantic hit "Something From Tiffany's" for Amazon and Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine.
