Frankie Shaw is stepping behind the camera for her feature directorial debut. The “SMILF” creator, star, director, and exec producer has been tapped to helm “Ultraluminous,” Deadline reports.

Based on Katherine Faw’s novel of the same name, the pic is described as “a nihilist revenge tale about a high-end sex-worker who returns to her native New York City after more than a decade abroad.” Shaw is penning the script for “Ultralumimous.” Jennifer Fox is among the project’s producers.

Shaw received a Golden Globe nomination for her role in “SMILF,” a Showtime comedy about a single mom living in Boston who works as a nanny and aspires to act. She directed seven episodes of the critically acclaimed series, which ran for two seasons, as well as shorts “Too Legit” and “SMILF.” “Homecoming,” “Mr. Robot,” and “Good Girls Revolt” are among her acting credits.
