Zoe Lister-Jones and Daryl Wein, the couple behind the 2012 comedy Lola Versus, are in production on their follow-up, a political thriller titled Food.
Food is set in the hot-button world of genetically modified organisms. It follows a single mother who goes on a journey to uncover the cause of her son’s mysterious illness.
