The film, currently in post production, centers on two high-school seniors, Vivien (Thorne), who is an accomplished student with a passion for physics, and Roy (Mascolo), a troubled young man.  When an accident forces the unlikely pair to come to a stop and reclaim their lives, one minute at the time, they finally start living in a present that perhaps will prove to be more exciting than any predefined formula.

The English-language film was shot over six-weeks on location in Rome and the US.

Nikolay Moss, Roberto Davide and Sebastiano Pigazzi round out the cast. Elisa Amoruso directs from a script she co-wrote with Lorenzo Ura and Patrizia Fiorellini.

Thorne’s previous credits include Girl, Chick Fight and Infamous.

The venture will see Thorne act as the creative director in charge of all content. Talent manager Tamara Thorne and Michael Cohen will act as co-heads of development.

Thorne has actively leveraged social media, including the adult content site OnlyFans.com, which she crashed last summer.

The announcement called Thorne “a rising mogul. Everything she touches is successful, from being a bestselling author and entrepreneur.” It went on to state that Thorne was an early adopter of social media and built successful platforms.

“I’m excited to create Content X for this generation’s young creative forces and their social medium platforms.,” Thorne said in the statement. “Content X will also specialize in identifying young writers, directors, etc. on social media to give them a platform to develop their skills, etc.”

Thorne has been active during the pandemic. Her movie, Infamous was the first movie during quarantine to be released in drive-in theaters as well as VOD, and the film opened as the #1 theatrical release.  Thorne recently shot the indie film Habit from the producer of Mudbound, and is set to star in director Mitzi Peirone’s post-apocalyptic thriller The Uncanny. She’ll also star opposite Oscar winner Melissa Leo in the thriller, Measure of Revenge (TBD 2021).

She recently wrapped the indie teen movie Times Up, which she stars in with her real-life love, musician, Benjamin Mascolo (TBD 2021).

Elisa Amoruso will direct the film that she co-wrote with Lorenzo Ura and Patrizia Fiorellini.

The movie follows two high school seniors ‘Vivien’ (Thorne) and Roy (Mascolo) who at first glance appear to have starkly different personalities. Vivien is a highly accomplished student, with a passion for physics and keen to get into a prestigious American university. She seems to live her own life as a mathematical formula that drives her to look at her own happiness as something to be postponed into the future. Roy, on the other hand, is a troubled and problematic young man who, due to a trauma suffered as a child, sees his desires continually hindered by a past that seems to constantly haunt him. However, mathematics too has its variables and, as always happens, life manages to weave events together in increasingly surprising and unexpected ways. Indeed, an accident will force our protagonists to come to a stop and reclaim their lives, one minute at the time, and finally start living in a present that perhaps will prove to be more exciting than any predefined.

The film will shoot on location in Rome, Italy and the USA.

Most recently, Thorne starred in the hit indie post Covid theatrical release, Infamous that opened as the #1 theatrical release in June 2020. She can next be seen in lead roles in the indie features, Girl and Chick Fight that are both opening next month.

Mascolo is a multi-platinum musician and the movie marks his acting debut.
