Jovanka Vuckovic to direct 'Riot Girls'

Interview of Jovanka Vuckovic (L) at Canadian Film Centre from Toronto, Canada

Clique Pictures announced on the first day of the Toronto Film Festival that Canadian filmmaker Jovanka Vuckovic ("XX") will direct the upcoming post-apocalyptic film, "Riot Girls," reports Variety.

The film is part queer romance, part survivalist horror story, as a threesome set out to release a boy who's been captured by rivals.

"Riot Girls," scripted by Katherine Collins, is currently casting.

Besides her work on "XX" -- an all-female horror flick -- Vuckovic won the 2012 Fantasia Film Festival Best Short award for "The Captured Bird."
