Back in 2017, writer-director Issa López made a name for herself with the film Tigers Are Not Afraid. Now, she’s back with her new film The Girl With a Thousand Names, which has just been acquired by New Line and will premiere exclusively on HBO Max, Deadline reports.
“The script tells the fantastically real story of a child from another world, trapped in our broken reality… without documents, in a detention center for unaccompanied minors and children separated from their families at the U.S. Border.” Deadline states.
Besides The Girl With a Thousand Names, López has several projects in the works including the films Three Sundays and an untilled werewolf western.
We’ll update you when we know more. In the meantime, check out Tigers Are Not Afraid, now available on Shudder.
