‘House Of Gods’ Director Behind Australian Sci-Fi Feature ‘2 Moons’
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: House of Gods director Fadia Abboud is directing a “boundary pushing” sci-fi feature about under-represented communities in Australia.
The feature from not-for-profit outfit Co-Curious follows the story of five unique characters: a Samoan fa’afafine landscaper, a high-powered Arab property developer who is also a fulltime carer, a Lebanese matriarch with a secret younger lover, a socially marginalised cleaner wrestling with his past, and a dreamer who is pulled into the orbit of her mother’s Orthodox church.
The characters and stories of the film draw on the cultural backgrounds of the writers and provide a commentary on what it means to be Australian, living in a global world of political and ecological uncertainty.
Abboud directed House of Gods, which was in competition at last year’s Series Mania. The show following an Australian-Iraqi family was described to us as The Sopranos in a mosque and featured in our Global Breakouts series.
