A new, important horror voice came onto the scene this year when British-Filipino filmmaker Paris Zarcilla's debut feature, RAGING GRACE, took top honours at festivals including SXSW and Neuchatel, in addition to being lauded at countless others on the festival circuit..

Joy (Max Eigenmann) is an undocumented Filipino immigrant struggling to do the best she can to support her daughter, Grace (Jaeden Boadilla). Soon she secures the perfect job: taking care of an extremely wealthy but terminal old man. The new position pays well and guarantees a roof over their heads, but very soon, Joy and Grace start to realize everything is not as it seems. Something is festering beneath the surface, threatening all they have worked for.
