Screen Australia invests in MATRIARCH
Screen Australia has announced 18 feature films, 10 television
dramas, two online projects and one virtual reality (VR) project that
will share in over $900,000 of story development funding.
In this horror feature film, self-made woman Connie (29) moves
into her husband Calvin's (35) traditionalist Chinese family home for
the third trimester of her pregnancy. As cultural differences and
tensions rise surrounding the impending birth of her son, Connie finds
herself at the centre of a demented ritual to appease an ancient and
decrepit god.
Matriarch
is co-written by
Ivy Mak (
Swift Street
,
Sydney Sleuthers
) and
Jayden Rathsam Hua (
Sushi Noh
,
The Key of B
) and produced by Ivy Mak
and Lois Randall (Swift Street, Grace Beside Me).
