As we head into Oscar balloting on Thursday, let’s not forget about Chloe Domont‘s Fair Play which reawakened the erotic thriller, and specifically spoke to the Me-Too era. The MRC and T-Street production went into Sundance last year under the radar and became the fest’s first big deal with Netflix scooping up the Alden Ehrenreich and Phoebe Dynevor movie for $20M.
The movie further propelled Domont from being a working TV episodic director on shows such as Billions, Ballers and Star Trek Discovery, to auteur status with this original screenplay she had been “compounding for years.”
You can listen to our Crew Call interview:
Fair Play tells the story about a promising, young, very successful couple, who are engaged to marry — except they work at the same Wall Street hedge fund. She winds up getting a promotion over him, which leaves the man spiraling as his fiancée climbs the ladder in the boys’ club.
The NYU Tisch School of the Arts alum’s inspiration stemmed from the power dynamics she faced with some of the men in her life.
Domont says she’d “inflate my confidence to be the face and the leader on some of these shows. But at the end of the day, as soon as I came back home, I had to deflate my sense of self to protect my relationships. And it was that kind of inflation and deflation on a daily basis that became just intolerable at a certain point. And it just made me realize how much hold these ingrained power dynamics still have over us today.”
“It just got to a point that I needed to talk about it because I felt like I had been silencing myself,” the writer/director/EP adds.
Her entryway to tell Fair Play “was always a thriller because to me, I wanted to use the genre to shine a light on an emotional terror.”
