Posted by Martina Birk on Tuesday, July 30, 2024

Actor, writer and filmmaker Honey Lauren (“Deadwood,” “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”) has set the cast for her feature directorial debut “Mistake.”

The indie drama stars Dominic Bogart (“American Primeval,” “The Glass Castle,” “The Birth of a Nation”), Matt Bogart (“Jersey Boys Live!”), Emmy winner and Golden Globe nominee Kay Lenz (“House”), Brett Cullen (“Joker,” “The Dark Knight Rises”) and Jiji Hise (“The Ballad of Buster Scruggs”) alongside Lauren.

The film follows Larry Benson (Dominic Bogart) who is born intersex in the deep south in 1941. His parents must choose, boy or girl. With hormone treatment Larry is raised as a man. The deep south is anything but an understanding environment in which to realize that a mistake has been made.
