‘Served Like A Girl’ Filmmaker Lysa Heslov Signs With Gersh, Sets Black List True-Crime Tale ‘Sex, Greed, Money, Murder And Chicken Fried Steak’ As First Narrative Feature

EXCLUSIVE: Award-winning documentary filmmaker Lysa Heslov (Served Like a Girl) has signed with Gersh, also announcing that she’ll soon make her narrative feature directorial debut with Reinhard Denke’s 2009 Black List script, Sex, Greed, Money, Murder and Chicken Fried Steak.

The company intends, going forward, to produce and fully finance 2-3 features yearly in the under-$15MM budget range.
Producing the pic for Amicus are Marilee Albert, Joseph Groves and Marla Watson. Andrew Chooljian will exec produce alongside Corey Trent Ackerman of The Cartel, with production to kick off in Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas this summer.
