Tracee Ellis Ross, often known for her comedic prowess, is stepping into a thrilling new role in her upcoming project, Blow The Horn. This psychological drama promises to delve deep into the complexities of relationships and the secrets that shape them.
The 52-year-old actress, also serving as a producer, will star in the indie film directed by Nacho Arenas. Currently in production in New York, Blow The Horn is an adaptation of the highly regarded Argentine play Bajo Terapia by Matias del Federico, which previously inspired a 2023 comedic film by Spanish director Gerardo Herrero. Bajo Terapia translates to Under Therapy.
Set in present-day New York, the film revolves around three couples who come together for a group therapy session under the guidance of a highly esteemed psychologist. As they open up, personal secrets and simmering tensions rise to the surface. The situation takes an unexpected turn when the therapist fails to arrive, forcing the couples to face their issues alone without the professional support they were counting on.
Get this: In addition to Ross, Blow The Horn features a talented cast that includes Wrenn Schmidt, Dallas Roberts, Joshua Boone, Ken Leung, and Lake Bell.
Director Nacho Arenas expressed his enthusiasm for the project, saying, “I was immediately captivated by Matias’ play the moment I read it, and adapting it for the screen was both exciting and daunting. I aspire to tell entertaining and artful stories grounded in truth, and this incredibly talented cast is bringing them to life in ways I could only dream of.”
Behind the camera, Arenas is producing the film through Planeo Films, with Jamin O’Brien also serving as a producer for The Film Community. Ross, whose recent projects include Cold Copy, Candy Cane Lane, and the critically acclaimed American Fiction, continues to expand her filmography with this compelling new venture.
