The Big Picture Writer/director/producer Anna Zlokovic helped kick off the spookiest month of the year with her new film Appendage, which recently released on Hulu. The film marks Zlokovic's feature length debut — an exciting milestone for the filmmaker. However, Appendage wasn't originally meant to be a full-length film.
During an interview with Collider's Maggie Boccella, Zlokovic discussed her experience in expanding Appendage's story to encompass a feature-length runtime. Naturally, turning the short into a feature posed some challenges, but Zlokovic was up to the task. For her, delving deeper into the mental health themes of the story — such as anxiety and depression — gave her a solid starting point to build the story further.
"It’s like, how do you turn this into a feature? And for me, it was always about having that understanding of anxiety and depression, of, it’s not just work that it’s gonna affect, it’s gonna affect your relationships, your friendships and, you know, your core childhood traumas eventually get into that with the parent stuff. So that was always kind of the guiding light in terms of how to expand it...
What Is 'Appendage' About? Appendage centers on Hannah , a fashion designer who presents a well put together front to others but actually struggles with immense self-doubt and impostor syndrome. But Hannah can't keep her feelings hidden much longer when they begin to take a physical toll on her, soon growing into something on her body called The Appendage.
