‘Maddie’ is a film that walks a thin line between teenage desire and discomforting abusive behaviour. Brilliantly directed by Zane Rubin (Inland Empire), the story takes on a subtle angle from an innocent teenager’s perspective longing for attention. Maddie (Addison Riecke) incidentally gets that attention when she meets J.J. (Larson Rainier), while her curiosity wins over despite their age difference, things become increasingly uncomfortable for the young girl. We caught up with Zane who told us more on her process and film.
