Brittany Furlan recently appeared on the big screen in the film We Are Your Friends. Now the digital celebrity, known for her comedic Vine videos, will star in the upcoming feature-length comedy Random Tropical Paradise.
Directed by Sanjeev Sirpal and produced by his Shabash Films banner, Random Tropical Paradise tells the story of a groom (played by Bryan Greenberg) abandoned at the altar who then goes on his honeymoon with his best man (Brooks Wheelan). The two get into plenty of unexpected scraps and comedic shenanigans, including starting a war between the Triad and the Mafia. Other cast members include Joe Pantoliano (The Matrix, Memento) as a Mafia leader and Spencer Grammer (Rick and Morty, Greek) as a potential new love interest for Greenberg’s character.
Variety, who originally broke the news, didn’t clarify what role Furlan would be playing in Random Tropical Paradise. The Vine star does, however, have plenty of experience behind the camera (smartphone and otherwise). In addition to her work in films and various shorts, Furlan has appeared in a promotional campaign for Regal Cinemas, various comedy sketches for the YouTube channel ‘Super Happy Fun Time, Yay!’, and worked on a travel-based Snapchat campaign from Marriott International. The 29-year-old digital star also won the 2014 Streamy Award for Viner of the Year.
Furlan boasts over 9.7 million followers on Vine.
