Starring Emmy-winner Julia Garner, The Assistant takes a look at the day in the life of the assistant, Jane (Julia Garner) to a powerful corporate executive. Written and directed by Kitty Green, it also stars Matthew Macfadyen, Kristine Forseth, Makenzie Leigh, Noah Robbins, Dagmara Domińczyk, and Purva Bedi.
The producer Jen Dana spoke in a statement `We're so proud of this movie, both on its own terms as a cinematic experience and for how it contributes to the ongoing conversation about gender, power and women's roles in the workplace. It is wonderful to have a partner in Bleecker Street who will support both Kitty as a filmmaker and help drive the necessary broader conversation surrounding the movie.`
