Ever since Lady has made its rounds in film festivals across the world, the film has been getting rave reviews from critics. The film currently sits at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, with Sian Clifford getting lots of love for her performance. The film was co-written and directed by Samuel Abrahams. Ahead of the film’s release on VOD, Awards Central had the pleasure of sitting down with him to talk about his work on the project.

During our interview, I talked to Abrahams about the film and the process of coming up with the script, which he co-wrote with Miranda Campbell Bowling. We discussed the production, working with Clifford, and what comes next.

What is Lady about?

The film focuses on Lady Isabelle (Sian Clifford), a woman living in a grand house who aspires to be a star. She invites a filmmaker (Laurie Kynaston) to document her life for Netflix. While the details of that project aren’t what they appear, something strange happens to Isabelle, leading to a wilder story.
