Chase Infiniti continues to make strides in the entertainment industry as she's set to star in Niki Byrne's "The Julia Set" alongside Christopher Briney, Chlöe Bailey, and Carmen Ejogo

Niki Byrne’s “The Julia Set” has begun production in London with its expanding cast, Deadline exclusively reports.

The coming-of-age film will star One Battle After Another breakout star Chase Infiniti, The Summer I Turned Pretty star Christopher Briney, Gillian Anderson from Sex Education, and Jason Isaacs of The White Lotus. Additionally, Nina Hoss (Tár), Chlöe Bailey (Grown-ish), Carmen Ejogo (Selma), Nico Hiraga (Sweethearts), Liz Lin (Salt Along the Tongue), and Alex Dillard have joined the cast.

Infiniti will play Julia, a talented mathematician in a competitive academic environment. Briney plays Pascal, a teacher assistant who enrolls Julia into a prep course for the most challenging math competition in the world, The Putnam Exam.

The film is being produced with the support of the If/Then Initiative, which aims to highlight positive STEM role models. If/Then’s Nicole G. Small and Margaret Black will executive produce the film alongside Infiniti. 

HanWay Film CEO Gabrielle Stewart recently shared her excitement for the film in a statement alongside the announcement of the new castings.

“We all loved Niki’s excellent screenplay following the journey of a young woman assuming her genius in an academic field dominated traditionally by men and how challenging that is for her,” Stewart said. “In a way, this is a female-led Good Will Hunting. And the cast could not be more exciting nor of the moment!”

On top of producing the film, HanWay Film will handle its international sales. Potato Salad Cosmic Domination, The Gotham Group, G Nus Media, Cinetrain, and Melegrano will join HanWay to produce the film.
