Canning will play Ms. Brixil, the head of The Vestalis Academy, the boarding school at the center of the film. Jacobs, fresh from a breakout role in the Canadian indie Rhymes for Young Ghouls, will play the role of Vivien, who is trapped in the prison-like boarding school.

Waterhouse, sister of supermodel Suki Waterhouse, also stars in Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals. The indie is being shopped this week at the Berlin film market ahead of a summer 2016 shoot.

Level 16 is produced by Toronto-based Markham Street Films.
