The Moon is Upside Down
Film (Trailer) – 2023
Writer, director and actor Loren Taylor (Eagle vs Shark) heads a solid cast in her award-winning first feature. The Moon is Upside Down explores the emotional and physical journeys of three diverse women. In this trailer, Siberian émigré Natalia (Victoria Haralabidou) realises what arranged marriage to a repressed Kiwi (Jemaine Clement) really means; well-heeled housewife Faith (Elizabeth Hawthorne) finds a tragic surprise in her husband's property portfolio; and a burnt out anaesthetist (Taylor) decides a romantic weekend away will deepen her relationship with 'online' boyfriend Tim (Robbie Magasiva).
I can smell guilt like dogs smell cancer.– Tuffy (Rachel House) is not convinced by Faith's story
