WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Juliet (Sweeney) is a gifted young pianist who attends a prestigious institution for classical musicians, but is constantly outshone by her older sister Vivian (Iseman) in nearly every aspect. Desperate to beat Vivian at an upcoming competition, she finds a mysterious notebook that starts to help her achieve musical greatness – but at a devastating cost…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

A cross between Black Swan and Whiplash, the feature debut of Zu Quirke is an unnerving psychological horror set in the world of classical music, so expect some beautiful tunes to go along with the horrifying imagery.
