Ally Maki is Lost in Family Grief in Volatile Indie Film ‘Seagrass’ Trailer

“Listen to me… ghosts don’t exist, okay?” Game Theory Films has revealed an official trailer for an unique indie drama titled Seagrass, from filmmaker Meredith Hama-Brown making her feature directorial debut. This Canadian production originally premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last year, and will open in both Canadian and US art house cinemas later this month. The film was the TIFF FIPRESCI prize winner, and a TIFF Top Ten pick. Set a decade or so in the past, Seagrass follows a Japanese-Canadian woman grappling with the death of her mother as she brings her family to a retreat. When her relationship with her husband begins to affect the children’s emotional security, the family is forever changed. The film stars Ally Maki as Judith, Luke Roberts, Chris Pang, Sarah Gadon, Nyha Huang Breitkreuz, and Remy Marthaller. This film has some really strong, grainy cinematography in it – with some shots better than others. Art film fans should keep an eye out for this at their local cinema – looks like a very moody, evocative slice of cinema. // Continue Reading ›
