Point of View Podcast – Ep.13 with Samuel Van Grinsven (dir.) & Dacre Montgomery (star)

Listen Later

This month on Point of View, host Tom Augustine sits down with Samuel Van Grinsven and Dacre Montgomery to discuss their new film Went Up the Hill — a psychological drama inspired by Van Grinsven’s memories of childhood in New Zealand’s South Island.

An intimate, modern ghost story, Went Up the Hill explores the extremities of grief and the haunting struggle of letting go.

When Jack travels to remote New Zealand to attend the funeral of his estranged mother, he encounters her grieving widow, Jill. But his mother’s spirit soon returns — inhabiting each of their bodies to speak to the other — sparking a life-threatening nocturnal dance of grief, love, and possession.

🎬 Went Up the Hill is now showing in cinemas across New Zealand.
