- Pipe Cleaner Boy cast Abigail Breslin (Oscar nominee for Little Miss Sunshine), Yasmin Kassim (You, Always), and Booboo Stewart (Twilight) as leads in a female-led road trip comedy written and directed by Anna Rose Moore.
- Breslin plays Rachel, a woman whose carefully ordered life implodes after catching her fiancé cheating and losing her job, prompting a cross-country road trip with free-spirited best friend Leeza (Kassim) to track down a boy from her past and make amends.
- Filming is scheduled to begin in October in Oklahoma City, with casting handled by Ricki Maslar and Charles Papert (Key & Peele) serving as cinematographer.
- Moore is making her feature directorial debut on Pipe Cleaner Boy; she most recently wrote the upcoming BuzzFeed Studios comedy Adulting, starring Leighton Meester, Tyler Posey, and Sherry Cola.
- Brynn Lucas (Bringing Back Young Justice), Charles Papert, and Mark Myers of Citizen Skull (HBO's Streetgang) are producing, in association with Cris Cordero's Paravox (Dream Baby Dream).
- Producer Lucas called the project a 'specific sweet spot,' citing a cast 'trusted and loved by audiences,' a female-led team, and a script that 'deeply resonates with Gen Z.'
Why it matters: Pipe Cleaner Boy marks Anna Rose Moore's feature directorial debut, giving her the launchpad of an Oscar-nominated lead (Breslin) and a Twilight franchise alum (Stewart) — a concrete career inflection point for a first-time director. The project also extends BuzzFeed Studios-adjacent momentum for Moore after she wrote the upcoming Leighton Meester/Tyler Posey comedy Adulting, signaling continued investment from buzzy producers like Brynn Lucas and Mark Myers in Gen Z-coded, female-led road-trip storytelling.
