Jim Cummings
Jim Cummings is a Los Angeles-based producer, writer, director, and actor.
Born on October 31, 1986 in New Orleans, he started his film career with multiple short films, including the 2016 short film THUNDER ROAD, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. He later adapted it into a feature film of the same name, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the SXSW Film Festival in 2018. His next feature, THE WOLF OF SNOW HOLLOW, was released in 2020 to critical acclaim. He also co-directed a feature film with longtime collaborator PJ McCabe with 2021's THE BETA TEST, which screened at festivals such as the Berlin International Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival.
He's had numerous appearances in other films such as the surreal comedy GREENER GRASS and the horror film HALLOWEEN KILLS. He's also appeared in hit shows like Hulu's THE HANDMAID'S TALE and FX's DAVE.
Virginia Newcomb is a performer and independent filmmaker known for her acclaimed performance in A24's The Death of Dick Long (2019) by Daniel Scheinert (of Oscar winning, The Daniels). "Best of all might be Lydia, whom Newcomb invests with a terrific energy - fiercely protective, vulnerable and angry all at once - as she reels from the particulars of a situation as imbecilic as it is impossible. You share in her disbelief, and you believe her entirely." LA Times, Justin Chang
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 opposite Jim Cummings in Vanishing Angle's, The Beta Test (2021), which premiered at Berlinale and Tribeca '21 and released by IFC. She performed in Julian Rosefeldt's epic video installation project, Euphoria with Cate Blanchett & Giancarlo Esposito for Park Ave Armory in NYC and toured internationally.
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.
A true indie film and alt theater kid, Virginia can also be seen in popular shows, Law & Order SVU, The Walking Dead, The Office, Halt & Catch Fire, and Netflix series From Scratch opposite Zoe Saldana. 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 and continues to search for new innovative ways to enrich support for artists. Regardless of role or medium, Virginia desires to share bold, evocative stories in deeply collaborative projects that portray women honestly, particularly in nontraditional southern narrative.
The writer, director and actor was born in Philadelphia, USA in 1987. Films in which he has appeared as an actor have screened at Sundance Film Festival, the South by Southwest Festival in Austin and the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal. He currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and his dog.
