Actress and filmmaker Tommy Dorfman has launched production banner Good Girl, setting a slate that spans body thriller and graphic novel adaptations.
Alyssa Raimann, an alum of Joy Coalition and STX, has been named vice president and will oversee Good Girl with Dorfman where the focus will be on film, television, and theater.
Good Girl’s current slate includes Aesthetica, a psychological thriller based on Allie Rowbottom’s novel of the same name that Dorfman is set to write and direct. The story follows a thirty-something who undergoes an experimental procedure that promises to reverse all surgical and cosmetic body modifications.
Elsewhere in development is Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, a live-action feature adaptation of Mariko Tamaki’s graphic novel set to be directed by Dorfman, and a television adaptation of James Frankie Thomas’ Idlewild.
At this year’s SXSW, Dorfman, who recently released her bestselling memoir Maybe This Will Save Me, premiered her feature I Wish You All the Best (out this fall). Her recent acting credits include the off-Broadway production of Becoming Eve and in the Tony nominated show Romeo + Juliet.
Good Girl Productions is launching in partnership with Tricky Knot, an entertainment financing and development company with a focus on actor-led production banners. Said Alexandra Tynion, CEO of Tricky Knot: “Tommy is one of the most electric and emotionally incisive storytellers. Together with Alyssa, they bring a bold and powerful vision for Good Girl Productions: to build a true media company that champions queer voices, with the ambition and clarity to take it exactly where it needs to go.”
Dorfman is repped by UTA, Echo Lake Entertainment and Yorn Levine.
