Following May screenings of their giallo-inspired feature Sororal at the Fantaspoa Film Festival in Porto Alegre, Brazil, the team at Nakatomi Pictures announce the release of the film's soundtrack, marking the milestone with the unveiling of the official poster artwork.
From the Press Release:
In aspiring to produce Australia’s first neo-giallo thriller, writer-director Sam Barrett was aware from the outset that the score would be critical to successfully creating the surreal parallel universe in Sororal.
He put the challenge in front of composer Christopher de Groot.
“A lot has been said about the beautiful imagery in hallmark giallo films, but there is no over-estimating the importance of music in the genre. The best giallo scores can take you away to a strange dream world that is beautiful, erotic, and frightening, a world which Chris has definitely sculpted for Sororal,” says Barrett. “True, we used a dizzying array of references as a starting point,...

You only hurt the ones you love! Thus reads the tagline from Sororal, a film from Nakatomi Pictures. Sororal is what many consider the first attempt at an Australian neo gaillo horror film, and is aiming for completion later this year before it reaches the festival circuit. Inspired by the Italian genre of crime and mystery in literature and film (or giallo), which became synonymous with the pulp of the past and with such luminaries as Alfred Hitchcock and Raymond Chandler, Sororal is trying to bring that type of thriller back to audiences around the world.
We have a new teaser, entitled “Visions,” below, as well as some information about its cast, crew and the plot. Sororal looks genuinely creepy cool, so we’ll be keeping tabs on this one as we learn more.

Six months later, Chen's film has wrapped and was recently selected to screen at the Sydney Film Festival as part of the ‘Love Me' pathway with Festival Director Clare Stewart describing the film as "beautifully nuanced." Little Sparrows traces the emotional lives of three sisters whose mother Susan (Nicola Bartlett) is dying of breast cancer. A Christmas lunch in the middle of an Australian summer is the pivotal event around which the film's elliptical structure revolves, shifting between the interior journeys of the three daughters and Susan's own reconciliation with the life she has lived and her impending death.
