Emma Corrin has boarded “Post,” a new short film directed by Alice Wordsworth and written by Flora Ashton, as an executive producer.
Described as a “stylized, darkly comic and simmering” story, “Post” centers on “the brewing storm of a fiercely lonely woman demanding to be seen,” according to its synopsis, and “invites us to look again at the strangers we pass each day.”
Alongside Corrin as executive producer, “Post” has announced its main cast: BAFTA nominee Omari Douglas (“Black Doves,” “It’s a Sin”), India Shaw-Smith (“Andor,” “Spartacus: House of Ashur”) and Ashton. The short is set to start filming in London this month with a release planned for mid to late 2026.
“‘Post’ is a truly unique, original and deeply tender short film,” said Corrin, who won a Golden Globe for “The Crown” and will next be seen in Netflix’s “Pride and Prejudice” series. “I absolutely love it and am thrilled to be supporting them as executive producer. A truly dreamy project!”
Douglas added, “I think this script is brilliant — the way it zooms in on our desire to be seen — how we obsess and fantasize over the briefest interactions as we go about our every day. I’m so happy to be part of this project and to be reunited with Alice Wordsworth.”
“Post” marks the narrative film debut of Wordsworth, who is best known for her theater directing work including “Body Count” at New York’s SohoPlayhouse and “The Next Morning” by James Graham, a short film for the National Theatre. She is Ivo van Hove’s regular associate director on the West End and has worked on his plays including “A Little Life” (which featured Douglas), “Opening Night” and “All My Sons.” She has also associate directed “The Seagull” at the Barbican, which starred Corrin; Robert Icke’s “Oedipus” on the West End; and “Macbeth’s” U.K. tour as well as in Washington, D.C.
“I’m so excited to be collaborating with Omari and Emma again to make ‘Post,’ having worked with them onstage,” Wordsworth said. “It’s brilliant to be making a short together.”
The “Post” creative team includes Giorgia Young as director of photography and Helena Hembrow as production designer. Production companies include Beldot Productions and Curtain Bangs Productions, with Annabelle Dodd (“Full Fat,” “A Day in June”) and Roxane Bourges (“The Intimacy Coordinator,” “Chinese Takeaway”) producing.
