Academy Award Nominee Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, The Hateful Eight, Django Unchained), Academy Award Nominee Joan Cusack (Working Girl, The End of the Tour) and Golden Globe Nominee and two-time Emmy Award Winner Bradley Whitford (Other People, "Transparent") have joined Academy Award Winner Brie Larson in her directorial debut, Unicorn Store.

Larson, Lynette Howell Taylor, Paris Kasidokostas-Latsis, Terry Dougas and The District's David Bernad and Ruben Fleischer, who developed the script, are producing. Jean-Luc De Fanti, Anne Woodward and writer Samantha McIntyre are executive producing.

Based on an original screenplay by McIntyre, Unicorn Store centers on a woman who moves back in with her parents. She receives an invitation to a store that will test her ideas of what it really means to grow up. The comedy just began principal photography in Los Angeles.
