Lily Collins, filmmaker Charlie McDowell and notable indie producer Alex Orlovsky have formally established a production entity called Case Study Films.

The trio previously collaborated on the 2021 film “Windfall,” a pot-boiler with socioeconomic undertones starring Collins, Jesse Plemons and Jason Segel, which sold to Netflix. Case Study will build film and series content financed in partnership with High Frequency Entertainment.

“Case Study Films is about collaboration and storytelling,” Collins said in a statement. “We approach our relationships from all aspects of the filmmaking process — fostering an idea from conception to release — alongside both established talent and new, exciting voices. Our hope is that this grows into a very special one-stop-shop for creatives.”
