Australian filmmaker Zoe Pepper is here to talk her satirical dark comedy, Birthright. The film follows Cory and his pregnant wife who find themselves evicted, jobless, and forced to stay with his parents. What transpires is a battle of the generations as the edges of Cory’s reality slip away leading to an unexpected path that detonates the family. In our chat, Zoe talks about the films power dynamics, satirical tone and why she gravitates towards things that are dark and political. She also shares the intention behind the films heightened music and the moral grey area the story plays in.
