Grape Steak

The film is based on true events and features a vibrant color palette, transporting viewers into a bat forest where a character awaits, strips, and engages in a trade. The story takes a dark turn as a drummer recounts a violent confrontation, accompanied by the sounds of Macy Rodman, a New York-based underground popstar. The scene shifts to a car driving down an old dirt road, picking up strangers who seem relatively unscathed despite the traumatic events that unfolded. "Grape Steak" is a slow-burning comedy that explores themes of trauma, humiliation, and community, set in Sydney and created over five years with a resourceful and collaborative approach.
