Grape Steak (2023)
Based on real gossip and violence. Vibrant colour invites us into a bat forest as someone waits, strips, for trade. A drummer is interviewed about a violent confrontation as he smashes his kit. A slim figure limps out of the darkness covered in blood to the sounds of New York's underground popstar Macy Rodman. A car bangs along an old dirt road and picks up stragglers, lost overnight who seem less affected than maybe they should be considering... Grape Steak is a wishfully ambient portal, a love-poem of trauma and humiliation set in Sydney, a slow comedy for a come-down, made resourcefully and communally over five years.
Directors: André Shannon, Jack Atherton, Garden Reflexxx.
