Lilly Wachowski Sets Solo Feature Debut ‘Trash Mountain’ Starring Caleb Hearon

Lilly Wachowski, one of the directors of "The Matrix" and "Speed Racer," has set her new film, "Trash Mountain," with comedian Caleb Hearon to star. The film follows a young gay man living in Chicago who returns to his hometown in Missouri following the death of his hoarder father.

Along with starring in the feature, Hearon also co-wrote the script with Ruby Caster. Colin Trevorrow, who directed Hearon in “Jurassic World Dominion,” is producing the feature with his banner Metronome Film Co., alongside Eddie Vaisman and Julia Lebedev for Sight Unseen.

“Trash Mountain” will mark the first solo directorial feature effort for Wachowski, who is best known for writing and helming the original “Matrix” trilogy with her sister, Lana Wachowski. The duo’s other projects include the lesbian crime thriller “Bound” and the colorful manga adaptation “Speed Racer.”
