SHADOW IN THE CLOUD New Auteurs

SHADOW IN THE CLOUD

Following the film, AFI Festivals Director of Programming Sarah Harris leads a conversation between filmmaker Roseanne Liang and actor Chloë Grace Moretz.

On a stormy night during World War II, a female pilot with top secret cargo talks her way on board a bomber plane about to take-off. The crass all-male crew reluctantly agrees, but their suspicions about her identity and the mysterious cargo quickly grow. Just then a shadow appears in the clouds — was it the incoming Japanese fleet? Or caused by some other sinister stowaway?

SHADOW IN THE CLOUD is a thrilling nightmare in the sky and its lead, Chloë Grace Moretz, is a badass to be reckoned with. After her exciting horror short DO NO HARM dominated the festival circuit in 2017, director Roseanne Liang returns with a feature proving she is a dynamic and powerful female voice in genre filmmaking. –Sarah Harris
