Fans of Hayley Kiyoko are in for a treat as the musician, actress, and queer icon is set to star in the upcoming drama “The Patience of Vultures”. The feature drama, which will begin filming in Spring 2023, is a neo-noir crime thriller described as a ‘Rashomon-style’ chamber piece, featuring an intriguing cast including Ed Skrein, Luis Guzmán, Josh Brener, Dominique Jackson, and of course, Kiyoko.
“The Patience of Vultures” follows the story of a young man who, after a failed marriage, finds himself emotionally conflicted and lured to a small town to meet a mysterious woman. However, upon his arrival, he becomes embroiled in a twisted game of cat-and-mouse where everyone has a secret, and nobody’s hands are clean.

The three producers, Jason Michael Berman, Will Raynor, and Zach Book, have previously worked together on critically acclaimed films such as “The Birth of a Nation”, “Judy & Punch”, and “Three Identical Strangers”.
Berman, who serves as the lead producer, is a respected figure in the industry with over a decade of experience. He has produced a diverse range of films, from the award-winning drama “The Outcasts” to the dark comedy “Bitch”.
