Emma Corrin has joined as an executive producer on the new short film Post, directed by Alice Wordsworth and written by Flora Ashton.
Described as a “stylized, darkly funny, and simmering” story, according to the synopsis, The Post centers on “the raging storm of a fiercely lonely woman begging to be met,” and “invites us to take a second look at the strangers we pass every day.”
In addition to Colin serving as executive producer, The Post also announced the principal cast includes BAFTA nominee Omari Douglas (Black Dove, It’s a Sin), India Shaw-Smith (Andor, Spartacus), and Ashton. The short film will begin filming this month in London and is expected to be released in mid-to-late 2026.
“‘The Post’ is a really unique, original, and very sweet short film,” said Colin, who won a Golden Globe for “The Crown” and will next appear in Netflix’s “Pride and Prejudice” series. “I absolutely love them and am excited to support them as an executive producer. It’s truly a dream project!”
Douglas added: “I think this script is great because it focuses on our desire to be seen obsessing over and fantasizing about the smallest of interactions as we go about our daily lives. I’m so happy to be a part of this project and to be reunited with Alice Wordsworth.”
The Post marks the feature film debut for Wordsworth, best known for his theatrical productions including Body Count at New York’s Soho Playhouse, short films at the National Theatre, and James Graham’s The Next Morning. She is Ivo van Hove’s regular director in the West End and has worked on his plays including A Little Life (with Douglas), Opening Night and All My Sons. She also co-directed The Seagull, starring Colin, at the Barbican. Robert Icke’s “Oedipus” in the West End. and “Macbeth” UK tour and Washington, D.C.
Wordsworth said: “I’ve worked with Omari and Emma on stage, so I’m thrilled to be working with them again on The Post.” “It’s great to be able to make short stories together.”
The creative team for “Post” includes Giorgia Young as cinematographer and Helena Hembrow as production designer. The production companies are Beldot Productions and Curtain Bangs Productions, and the film is produced by Annabelle Dodd (Full Fat, A Day in June) and Roxanne Bourges (The Intimacy Coordinator, Chinese Takeaway).
