Knight (The Flight Attendant), Sonya Walger (For All Mankind), Raymond Ma (Always Be My Maybe) and Dawn Ying Yuen (The Harvest). While we’re told Donovan will play a disgraced millionaire involved with art forgery, all other roles are under wraps. Forge‘s leads are Kelly Marie Tran, Andie Ju and Brandon Soo Hoo, as we were first to report. Marking the feature directorial debut of Malaysian-born filmmaker Jing Ai Ng, the film is set in the underbelly of the Miami art world, where siblings Raymond (Soo Hoo) and Coco Zhang (Ju) run a profitable forgery ring. When the Zhang siblings cross paths with a disgraced millionaire (Donovan), they are coerced into creating counterfeit masterpieces as a front for his old American family’s art collection. Meanwhile, FBI Art Crimes agent Emily Lee (Tran) moves to South Florida and attempts to find the culprits behind a new string of forgeries. Producers are Liz Daering-Glass under her and Ng’s new label Florida Man Films, Gabrielle Cordero, and Damian Bao (Port Authority) through his production company Qilinverse. Dave A. Liu (Dìdi) will serve as executive producer on the film, which was developed as part of Film Independent’s Screenwriting Lab and Fast Track.

Damian Bao Casting is holding a global open casting call for FORGE, an upcoming crime dark comedy feature film by writer/director Jing Ai Ng. Supported by Film Independent, FORGE deals with authenticity and identity, in art and in people. FORGE tackles the myth of the model minority, centering on Asian American characters who are unmistakably human. The Zhangs are forgers, and therefore, criminals. We live in a society where appearances and being “ahead” of others are at the forefront of our minds. FORGE is a tragi-comedy, a cautionary tale about how the rat race of modernity has the ability to destroy beautiful things—whether that be art, family, or relationships. FORGE is a tale of greed and youth set in Miami, a story of how a young woman’s ambitions leads to the destruction of her passion for art and eventually, her family. Casting Director @damianbao welcomes submissions from talent who are union or non-union. Actors, musicians, dancers, influencers, and non-actors are all encouraged to submit!
