Appendage (2023)

Hannah (Hadley Robinson), a young fashion designer, seems fine on the surface, but secretly struggles with debilitating self-doubt. Soon these buried feelings begin to make Hannah physically sick and sprout into a ferocious growth on her body: The Appendage. As Hannah’s health declines, The Appendage begins to fuel her anxieties – her perceived lack of talent at work, her deteriorating relationships with her boyfriend and best friend, and her parents’ lack of love and understanding. At her breaking point, Hannah makes a shocking discovery—there are others out there like her.

Appendage is Anna Zlokovic’s feature directorial debut, based on her 2021 short of the same name. The film stars Hadley Robinson, Kausar Mohammed, Emily Hampshire, and Brandon Mychal Smith.
