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 and directed by Jayden Rathsam Hua (
