Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This short film got Solet the 2009 feature adaptation with the same title, expanded to feature length with Jordan Ladd as Madeline.
The film subverts Madonna-and-child imagery; Grace's 'feeding' reimagines breastfeeding as horror, tapping into primal fears of maternal inadequacy and bodily autonomy loss.
