Shooting Wraps on ‘Supporting Role,’ Sophomore Feature From Locarno Award Winner Ana Urushadze (EXCLUSIVE)


Principal photography has ended on Georgian writer-director Ana Urushadze’s second film, 'Supporting Role.'

It follows on from the success of Urushadze’s 2017 debut “ Scary Mother,” which premiered and won best first feature at Locarno Film Festival before going on to pick up the top prize in Sarajevo. The story of “Supporting Role” follows a once-famous star of Georgian cinema, who – triggered by a casting session with a young female director – embarks on a bizarre and fatalistic odyssey of self-transformation. The film stars Dato Bakhtadze, alongside Nata Murvanidze, who led “Scary Mother,” winning best performance at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards.
