‘Appendage’ Director On Creating A Gross Little Dude [Watch]
Anxiety’s a bitch, wouldn’t you agree? That debilitating feeling that makes you feel small, worthless, and frozen. So often it’s hard to describe those feelings to those who haven’t experienced it. But, in her feature film debut Appendage—based on her short film of the same name—director Anna Zlokovic gives anxiety a face. And it’s sorta cute?
Read the full synopsis:
Hannah (Hadley Robinson), a young fashion designer, seems fine on the surface, but secretly struggles with debilitating self-doubt. Soon these buried feelings begin to make Hannah physically sick and sprout into a ferocious growth on her body: The Appendage. As Hannah’s health declines, The Appendage begins to fuel her anxieties—her perceived lack of talent at work, her deteriorating relationships with her boyfriend and best friend, and her parents’ lack of love and understanding. At her breaking point, Hannah makes a shocking discovery—there are others out there like her.
Dread Central spoke with Zlokovic about creative anxieties, balancing comedy with horror, and more.
