Virginia Newcomb திரைப்பட பட்டியல்
Virginia Newcomb is a performer and independent filmmaker known most recently for her acclaimed performance in A24's The Death of Dick Long (2019) by Daniel Scheinert (Sundance Premiere). This film and others returned her to her home state of Alabama, including producing on Lynn Shelton's Sword of Trust (2019) and numerous award winning short films. Virginia can also be seen in Peacock (2010) with Cillian Murphy, Reparation (2015) with Marc Menchaca, and Vanishing Angle's latest feature opposite Jim Cummings, The Beta Test (2021), which premiered at Berlinale and Tribeca '21 and released by IFC. She recently completed Rumble Through the Dark alongside Aaron Eckhart and will star and produce the southern thriller, Don't Die, filming fall 2021 in Tennessee.
Newcomb's influences hail from a vast theatre background and it's the boundary breaking, media mashup kind that inspire much of her own creative work. Her Broadway debut came in Jay Scheib's live-cinema production of Chekhov's Platonov, which live streamed to Time Square and BAM Rose Cinemas. Virginia took a similar, and more immersive, approach as creator of Cucalorus Film Festival's annual commissioned Blue Velvet installation, Bus To Lumberton. Whether adding dynamic movement to the screen or intimate nuance to theatre, Virginia thrives in commingling these worlds. She is in collaboration with Julian Rosefeldt (Manifesto with Cate Blanchett) on his next art installation and film hybrid project, Euphoria.
A true indie film and alt theater child, Virginia has also appeared in popular shows, The Walking Dead, The Office, Halt & Catch Fire, and the upcoming Netflix series From Scratch from Hello Sunshine/Cinestar. Catch Virginia as an injured coal minor in the Appalachian Eco-body horror, Occupational Hazard, on Hulu. She was selected to participate in the inaugural Constellation Incubator beginning summer of '21, formed to apply design thinking to re-imagine and scale a more sustainable, equitable filmmaking ecosystem. Regardless of role or medium, Virginia seeks to share bold, evocative stories in deeply collaborative projects that portray women honestly, particularly in nontraditional southern narrative.
