Director: Niclas Larsson
Production: Lyrical Media
Role: VFX Supervision
The members of a dysfunctional family find themselves mysteriously trapped in an antiquated furniture store when their elderly matriarch (Ellen Burstyn) suddenly refuses to get up from one of the display couches.
Reluctantly assembled, her three estranged children must figure out how to escape this bizarre predicament. With the help of the store managers, Marco & Marcus (F. Murray Abraham), and their daughter Bella (Taylor Russell), the siblings embark on a mind-bending odyssey that forces them to face life-altering truths about their own lives and upbringing. Boasting “sensational” performances from an “A-List cast" (Deadline), Mother, Couch marks director Niclas Larsson as "a major new voice breaking through in cinema" (Slash Film).
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2023. It was released in the United States by Film Movement and Memory on July 5, 2024.
I was involved in the remote shoot supervision and consulted with the production company on all related aspects of the VFX until completion, making sure the vision from Niclas was translated correctly. From compositing to CGI extensions, environments and the final scenes, it was a pleasure to get involved in one truly meaningful film project.
