With her previous films Chanthaly and Dearest Sister, Lao-based director Mattie Do made history as Laos’ first and only woman filmmaker. And, she’s also the only filmmaker in the country to work in the horror genre. Now, with her third feature film The Long Walk, Do continues to blaze forward as a filmmaker within the genre and within the world cinema canon.
In The Long Walk, an old scavenger living on the fringes of a near-future society exploits a ghostly companion’s ability to traverse time. With her, he hopes to prevent his mother’s suffering from a terminal illness. In this exclusive clip, we learn more about the powers of this ghost and just how long he and the ghost have been intertwined.
Watch the exclusive clip:
A deliberately paced story that burns with intensity and human emotion, The Long Walk is a culturally rich ghost story, a grim near-future sci-fi, and mystery with life and death stakes that spans decades.
Yannawoutthi Chanthalungsy, Vilouna Phetmany, Por Silatsa, Noutnapha Soydara, Chanthamone Inoudome, and Vithaya Sombath star in The Long Walk.
Christopher Larsen, Do’s husband and creative partner, wrote The Long Walk. Justin Deimen, and Abhi Rastogi served as executive producers.
The Long Walk is now available on demand.
