,” is developing “Wannabe,” the feature debut of “Bad Bitch” director Patricia Bbaale Bandak, and “After the Sun,” a dystopia based on a short story featured in The New Yorker in 2021.
“The story is told through the eyes of this 13 year-old girl and tells her coming of age but it also talks about the brutality of assimilation and the complexity of Danish society,” said Victor Rocha da Cunha, the Brazilian-born producer of “Wannabe.” Da Cunha, who co-founded Monolit Film with Pernille Tornøe and Emily Nicoline Quist in 2019, said the film will show how this young girl will be faced with insidious biais and covert racism.
“Wannabe” was penned by Mie Skjoldemose, Sara Isabella Jønsson and Bbaale Bandak. Da Cunha pitched the project at Goteborg, which he attended with Tornøe. Both graduated from the National Film School of Denmark. Monolit Film is looking to enlist an international sales company on the project. Penned by Leo Clara Mendes and Beikpour, “After the Sun” is set in a near future. Tornøe said the story revolves around a couple of Iranian refugee who come to Denmark to start a new life in a world that has been ravaged by climate change.
