Australian writer/actress Krew Boylan is all dolled up as the world’s most famous Dolly and appearing alongside on open-shirted Bobby Cannavale in this first look from upcoming musical dramedy Seriously Red.

The film — which features music by Dolly Parton — is directed by Grace Otto (Under the Volcano) from a script by Boylan (Primal) and marks the first feature from Rose Byrne’s Dollhouse Pictures.

Seriously Red tells the story of Red (Boylan), a vivacious and at times misguided red-head who pours herself a cup of ambition and trades her 9 to 5 career in real estate for a life under the spotlight as a Dolly Parton impersonator. On her journey to success, Red has to lose herself in order to find herself because as Dolly Parton says: Be yourself because Everyone is taken.’
