Jason Raftopoulos has wrapped on his next feature Voices in Deep in Athens, starring newcomer Hannah Sims in the lead as an Australian humanitarian.
The film is the second from the writer-director, following the Melbourne-set West of Sunshine, starring the late Damian Hill. That drama premiered at the Venice Film Festival in the Orizzonti section and went on to be nominated for three Aacta Awards.
In Voices in Deep, Sims stars as Bobby, who becomes connected to the lives of two orphaned refugees Tarek and Zaheed following a tragedy at sea.
Bobby compulsively exposes herself to strangers to dull the tragic memories, but a chance encounter with Gloria (played by Greek actress Angeliki Papoulia), leads them on an adventure together. Tarek and Zaeed (newcomers Michael Hilane and Christos Karavevas) fend for themselves on the streets. Tarek sells his body for food and shelter to provide for his increasingly vulnerable younger brother.
