U.K.-based sales agent Mister Smith Entertainment has picked up international rights to “Grafted,” a New Zealand-set horror film which marks the feature directing debut of Sasha Rainbow. The film is now in production. Mister Smith will launch sales next month in Cannes.
The film tells story of a Chinese student who travels to New Zealand to complete the scientific work of her deceased father only to find a new way of achieving popularity, one body at a time.
“I am incredibly excited about playing in the body-horror space for such an incredible, surprising, female-lead-project like ‘Grafted.’ I can’t wait to unleash it to audiences around the world,” said Rainbow. She previously directed 2018 short film “Kamali,” about a mother fighting for her daughter’s rights through skateboarding in India, which was nominated for a BAFTA and long-listed for an Oscar.
The cast of “Grafted” is headed by Joyena Sun,...

T is for Talk Short Film. Peter Haynes‘ T is for Talk (2011) short film stars Caitlin Bennett, Benjamin Teh, Ally Xue, Campbell Cooley, Matthew Darragh, and Anzel Greyling. T is for Talk‘s plot synopsis: “contestants are held in a single room and must talk when prompted to and be silent went not or they will be killed.”
Good production value and shots. The contest is inventive as well. The viewer has no idea how these people were selected or how they got there (even a priest is present). The only thing that exists is the horrific game. This short film is part of The ABCs of Death contest. You can vote for the film here.
