Shari Sebbens interview (The Moogai)

Popcorn Podcast

30-10-2024 • 17 mins

Australian actor and proud Bardi, Jabirr-Jabirr woman Shari Sebbens joins Popcorn Podcast to discuss her leading role in Indigenous psychological horror The Moogai. Writer and director Jon Bell has developed the story – based on the 2020 award-winning short film of the same name – into a full-length horror feature to confront how prevalent the effects of the Stolen Generations still are today. Is child-stealing spirit The Moogai real or is Sarah (Shari Sebbens) in fact the biggest threat to the safety of their family? In our chat, Sebbens shares what she loves about the horror genre, the importance of telling Indigenous stories and how she balanced crazy and truth in her chilling performance.
