Defeated by Dashed Career Dreams, Jackie Van Beek Takes on Daughter’s Identity in ‘Audrey’ – SXSW Trailer Drop
Defeated by dashed career dreams, Jackie Van Beek takes on her daughter’s identity in ‘Audrey,’ an Australian dark comedy in competition at SXSW.
Other cast also include: Jeremy Lindsay Taylor (“Puberty Blues,” “The Diplomat”), Josephine Blazier (“True History of the Kelly Gang”) and disability advocate and actress Hannah Diviney (“Latecomers”). “What begins as a light, sex-fuelled comedy about family soon takes a twisted journey into horror as, like a classic Greek tragedy, our protagonists decide that the only way to find happiness is to destroy their firstborn,” says director Natalie Bailey. Bailey says that the film, scripted by Lou Sanz, leans into territories explored in Gus Van Sant’s “To Die For,” PJ Hogan’s “Muriel’s Wedding” and Sam Mendes’ “American Beauty,” with a dash of Almodovar.
