Her husband may soon be out of a job, but Louise Linton - the wife of Trump Administration Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin - has been hard at work.
The actress, 39, has had her first feature film, Me You Madness, picked up for distribution
The 'campy comedy-thriller', which Linton wrote and directed, had found a home at STXfilms and Highland Film Group, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Linton also stars in the film, playing a bisexual serial killer named Catherine, who is plotting to murder a hunky criminal played by Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick.
However, Catherine's plans go awry when she starts to fall in love with Westwick's character.
STXfilms is reportedly planning to release Me You Madness via video on demand early next year.

'Thanks to my killer crew and cast, the movie is every bit the playful '80s homage I dreamed of when I wrote it. It was a joyful set, even under pressure,' she told The Hollywood Reporter.
Meanwhile, Highland Film Group lavished praise on the Scottish-born starlet.
'Louise is an amazing talent and can really do it all. She has created a crazy, funny, electrifying story that ticks all the boxes for our international partner,' Highland CEO Arianne Fraser stated.
'It's glamorous, irreverent, romantic and full of lip-smacking thrills. We could not have wished for more'.

They include Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad, and Mad Max: Fury Road.
Mnuchin, who has a net worth of $300 million, is a former hedge fund manager and investor. He joined the Trump Administration at the beginning of 2017, and married Linton six months later.
Vice President Mike Pence presided over the ceremony.
Linton came under fire in August 2017, after she shared this photo showing off her designer clothing as she stepped off a private jet paid for by the government.
Two months later, in August 2017, Linton came under fire for sharing a photo flaunting her designer wardrobe as she disembarked a private jet paid for by the government.
She subsequently told Los Angeles Magazine that it 'sucked' 'being hated'.
The blonde beauty candidly told the publication: 'Most people know me for that awful Instagram post. …Look, I made some rookie mistakes. I understand why people are angry about me getting off that government plane tagging fashion brands. It was a stupid thing to do.'
