In a near-future city where soaring opulence overshadows economic hardship, Gwen and her daughter Jules do all they can to hold on to their joy together, despite the instability surfacing in their world.
Jennifer Phang has made her mark by bringing naturalistic and poignant drama elements to fantastical realities. After graduating from the AFI’s MFA Directing program, Phang’s first feature HALF-LIFE - a magic-real family drama - premiered at Sundance. Her sophomore feature ADVANTAGEOUS won a Sundance Dramatic Jury Prize and was acquired by Netflix for an exclusive worldwide streaming deal. The sci-fi mother-daughter drama became a Netflix hit and Phang has gone on to direct episodes of Marvel’s CLOAK & DAGGER, RIVERDALE, THE EXORCIST starring Geena Davis, and penultimate episodes of SyFy’s THE EXPANSE third season -- a serial adaptation of the James S.A. Corey novels. In 2018 Phang will work on THE BOYS, an Amazon Series produced by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg, starring Karl Urban. She will also return to helm the Season 2 premiere of Marvel’s CLOAK & DAGGER, and direct on Marvel’s AGENTS OF SHIELD.
