Rohan Campbell (The Monkey), Suraj Sharma (Life of Pi), Steve Howey (True Lies), Bella Murphy (Coming 2 America) and Matt Champion round out the cast. Tara Razavi (Apple Music’s Up Next), Nate Matteson (The Bear) and Hiro Murai (Mr. and Mrs. Smith) serve as producers, with Happy Place financing the project alongside executive producer Clayton Moore.
Strobe, which does not yet have an announced release, marks the first feature for Happy Place.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring Strobe to life as Taylor Cohen’s first feature film,” Happy Place founder Razavi said in a statement. “Suzanna Son was a perfect creative fit, and we are so lucky to have her in the leading role. Taylor has been a key collaborator in our short-form projects for years, and his ability to craft visually stunning and emotionally resonant stories has always stood out. Now he’s bringing that same innovative energy and style to Strobe which, paired with Suzanna’s and the cast’s remarkable performances, will deliver a truly captivating cinematic experience.”
EDM, the genre of club music that achieved mainstream attention in the 2010s, has been the focus of previous films, most notably the Zac Efron-led We Are Your Friends and the Netflix title XOXO starring Sarah Hyland.
Cohen marks his feature directorial debut with Strobe after helming music videos for such stars as Billie Eilish, Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion and Conan Gray.
The filmmaker is represented by Range Media Partners and Jackoway Austen.
