Actor Chloe Traicos talks with Jesus Figueroa, @ThisFunktional of ThisFunktional.com, about THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES.
Chloe Traicos was born and raised in Zimbabwe. Her father is international cricket star, John Traicos and her mother, Annette Kileff is an artist. Chloe lived in Zimbabwe until until 2005 when she was forced to flee the country after having made a controversial documentary about the country's leader, Robert Mugabe. In her documentary Chloe speaks out on behalf of the Zimbabwean people who have spent years being persecuted and starved. Despite the fact she had to leave the country, Chloe's documentary ( aptly named " A Stranger in my Homeland" ) went on to win awards throughout the world.
Traicos is known for her indie films “Devil’s Cove” and “Introducing Jodea” as well as TV appearances on “MacGyver” and “The Righteous Gemstone.”
Gravitas Ventures, a Red Arrow Studios Company, has acquired the North American rights to distribute romantic comedy, Introducing Jodea. The movie is set to release later this year on digital platforms.
Starring Chloe Traicos (“The Righteous Gemstones”) and Jeff Coppage (“Ava”), the award-winning indie explores how a struggling young actress’s fortunes change when a world-famous movie director drives into the back of her car. Desperate, the actress uses the opportunity to beg the star for a role in his latest movie. JD Cohen directs.
Film is based on an original story by Traicos, who played Gloria Freeman on HBO comedy “The Righteous Gemstones” and appeared in such films as Devil’s Cove (2018) and Mao’s Last Dancer (2009).
The film hails from Fairmont Pictures, Mia Tunsgate Films and Pizarro Pictures.
Kent Hatch and Ryan Pratton also help make up the cast.
