The Agency client Paris Zarcilla has secured a double nomination in this year’s British Independent Film Award 2023 Longlist.
This nomination was secured for the Best Debut Director and Best Debut Screenwriter categories.
Paris received both these nominations for his movie RAGING GRACE – the story of a Filipina immigrant who works as a carer for an old man. The movie has gained mass critical acclaim and won the Grand Jury Prize at South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival, among other awards.
Here are some reviews for the film:
“A First-Rate Suspenser with a Sociopolitical Soul” – Variety
“Immigration and Exploitation Seen Through a Cheeky Horror-Film Lens” – The Hollywood Reporter
“The careful screenplay ensures that Joy is never a passive victim of circumstance” – Screen Daily
Producer Chi Thai was also nominated under Breakthrough Producer for the same film.
Paris Zarcilla is represented by Hannah Boulton at The Agency.
