Venice Bound ‘Hoard’ Unveils First Clip: ‘Spite Really Is the Great Transformer’ (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comNaman Ramachandran A first clip has been unveiled from Luna Carmoon’s feature debut “Hoard,” which will premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
In the film, in London, 1984, seven-year-old Maria and her mother live in their own loving world built on sorting through bins and collecting shiny rubbish.
One night, their world falls apart, and the film joins Maria a decade later, living with her foster mother. An older stranger, Michael, then enters their home, opening the door to past trauma, magic and madness. “‘Hoard’ came from a place of venom; spite really is the great transformer.
It was a story I was writing for just me, the world of ‘Hoard’ and its characters saved me truly,” Carmoon told Variety. I never intended it to be seen until I self induced kicked the bucket once I had finished it, I was going to leave it at the bottom of my bed wrapped in string for the Newshopper and family to find to find to their shock and horror but then the sadness transformed to venom which transformed it into script which transformed it into this love, and a tale of healing.” “It’s no surprise it spewed out of me in the spring of 2020 when none of us knew of future and so much uncertainty so I guess my mind entered fast with past and into the memory vaults I was led and soon the entity of ‘Hoard,’ the real essence of before I was following vomited out of me,” Carmoon added.
