Multi-hyphenate Nicole Ansari-Cox has a lot going on.
The London-based actor, producer, writer and activist just shot Southern Italy-set rom-com “Under the Stars” directed by Michelle Danner where she stars alongside Toni Colette, Andy Garcia and Alex Pettyfer. In addition, she appears in Austrian director Kat Rohrer’s “What a Feeling” that premiered recently at the BFI FLARE: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival. Soon Ansari-Cox will be in Cannes as part of the production team for “Glenrothan,” the directorial debut of her husband Brian Cox which is being sold at the Marché du Film.
She’s also in young Lebanese director Shireen Khaled’s short “In the Night,” about a long-married couple who, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, realize they have suddenly fallen out of love and spend a night trying to rekindle the flame. “In the Night,” in which Ansari-Cox stars opposite actor-singer-songwriter Jack O’Neill, premiered last month at the Beirut International Women Film Festival where it scored the audience award.
