Screen has debuted the trailer for The Justice Of Bunny King, the debut film by Gaysorn Thavat who exploded onto the film scene with his short ‘Brave Donkey’ which was selected for the BFI London Film Festival, Locarno, and Melbourne in 2009. Her feature debut will play at the Tribeca Film Festival this year.
Here’s some more about the film:
Bunny King (Essie Davis) spends her days washing car windshields on a busy street, pocketing the change she earns in tips. For now, she’s sleeping on her sister’s couch, but she’s saving up for a place of her own. What she wants more than anything is to be reunited with her two children who’ve been placed in foster care, and until she finds her own house, family services won’t let her act as their parent. When a plan that would finally allow Bunny to bring her kids home falls apart, she’s forced to become a champion not only for herself and her children but also her teenage niece Tonya (Thomasin McKenzie), who’s desperate for her help.
This one is definitely one to look our for in the coming months. Protagonist Pictures released the trailer ahead of its festival premiere, which is set for just a couple of weeks’ time.
Watch the trailer below.
