Zombucha!

Take your seats for the screening of upcoming Australian film Zombucha!, written and directed by Northern Beaches local Claudia Dzienny.

Selected for both the Melbourne International Film Festival and the Raindance Film Festival in the UK, Zombucha! is a hilarious and big-hearted ‘Shaun of the Dead-adjacent hoot …  with the off-kilter sensibility of early Tim Burton’ (Screenhub).

As oddly relatable to millennial struggles and wellness obsessions as it is uproariously funny, Zombucha! centres on a young couple’s plan to strike it rich with an organic beverage empire, while inadvertently unleashing a sentient force into a very thirsty world.

The film’s comedic Trans-Tasman ensemble cast includes Emma Leonard (800 Words), Ryan O’Kane (upcoming Kiwi crowd pleaser, The Dog Show), New Zealand comedic royalty Jackie van Beek (The Breaker-Upperers, What We Do In The Shadows), Australian legend Gary Sweet and Duncan Fellows (Deadloch). Stephen Madsen who plays the character Kai (the smouldering kombucha artisan and cult member), is also a Beaches local hailing from Mona Vale!

Claudia, who lives in Warriewood where much of the film was shot, is a former architect turned filmmaker — and she designed many of the key locations in the film.

Enjoy a special preview screening of Zombucha! followed by a Q&A with Claudia at United Cinemas Warriewood on Saturday 14 November, 6.30pm.
