Mia Moore Marchant joins the cast of the trans-led horror feature "The Girls"

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - EntSun -- West Hollywood, CA – Actress, filmmaker, and comedian Mia Moore Marchant joins the cast of the trans-led horror feature "The Girls", secured for a leading role as "Dahlia".

Marchant stated, "I'm just stoked to make trans art... made by trans people. Let's make up for all of the films that we never got to make, because we weren't allowed inside the studio system. A revenge film... a slasher that feels like it could've been right out of the 70s or 80s is right up my alley."

Director Krista Michaels expressed her excitement about Marchant joining the cast, stating, "I am thrilled to have Mia aboard the project. I had her in mind early on in the writing process, and this was a collaboration that almost didn't line up, as we were just beginning to promote and cast The Girls just as Mia was directing her film, Again Again. I'm so glad that things ultimately worked out, because Mia is super talented, has great ideas, and I know that she will be an absolute joy to work with. I can't wait!"

Having just wrapped production on her first feature film, Again Again, Marchant is also set to star in the upcoming queer time travel film, which she wrote, co-directed, and produced.
