“Grafted is a New Zealand coming-of-age film that follows Wei (Joyena Sun), a young immigrant woman who just wants to fit in. Wei, in an effort to rid herself of the scar on her face, continues her late father’s research towards developing a revolutionary skin grafting technique but her preoccupation with this perceived imperfection quickly becomes unhinged. Sasha Rainbow’s narrative feature debut tells a poignant story of beauty, blood, and a search for belonging. Unafraid of showing the reality of the world we live in, Rainbow’s creative and trailblazing approach to documentary filmmaking lends itself beautifully to the world of horror. Offscreen Central had the opportunity to talk with director Sasha Rainbow about the inspirations behind Grafted, “coming-of-rage” stories and the creative potential of body horror.”
