"'This film has come from the belly of my soul, of all things, tar and family,' says Carmoon in a statement. 'From my grandmother's experiences in Newington Lodge, to my mother Toni and the cleaning houses she took me to where darker things lingered, to teddies and chicken farms. So much of my family and our memories seep deeper than you'd think.'"
"'I cannot think of a more prevalent time than now to paint and stitch and weave to screen, it is my rage that has fuelled this. The weatherings of being a woman and how you are cannibalised by systems, by men, women and then by debts we sometimes write ourselves into because we believe we deserve it so.'"
"'To Make Ends Meat is hugely ambitious, dripping in genre, and deeply resonant to our times, and we've no doubt it will deliver a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience thanks to Luna's unique vision,' say producers Helen Simmons and Loran Dunn."
Luna Carmoon's second project as a writer-director is a horror film titled 'To Make Ends Meat', featuring three women in debt to men and each other. The film reflects Carmoon's personal experiences and family history, emphasizing themes of consumption, violence, and the struggles women face. The production involved a female-led team and was filmed over six weeks in London. Producers and industry figures praise Carmoon's talent and vision, anticipating a unique cinematic experience that resonates with contemporary issues.
