In Lost Child an Army veteran suffering from Ptsd returns home to see her brother but before she does she discovers a young boy living in the woods. From this she discovers local town folklore about monsters and demons which make her question taking the child in.
The story sounds like a typical low budget horror but thankfully Lost Child never really heads down that route despite constantly teasing to. And I’m still not sure whether I would have preferred it to or not. Instead it takes a much more serious tone with hints of horror but a more real-life horror. The demons are both real and imaginary.
Lost Child does have a slow pace to it.

When actress Leven Rambin and director Ramaa Mosley say their film, “Lost Child,” was a passion project, they don’t mean it lightly. It’s been a struggle, from getting financing and distribution, to the filming process, which involved trekking through Ozark forests and mud in the punishing summer heat. It was only through the “willpower and determination” of the all-female creative team that the thriller about a woman (Rambin) discovering an abandoned boy in the woods and searching for his identity, was able to be made and screened. Mosley and Rambin, who plays young veteran Fern in the film, speaks with Variety ahead of their film’s Friday release.
How did you get inspired to make “Lost Boy”?
Ramaa Mosley: We crafted a story that was built around personal experiences that both my co-writer [Tim Macy] and myself had been through with family and issues that were important to us,...

Indie film The Brass Teapot will be making an appearance in Austin on Thursday, May 23. Ramaa Mosley makes her feature directorial debut with the movie, basing it off of her 2007 short of the same name. Tim Macy scripted both the short and the feature.
It stars Michael Angarano (Sky High, Snow Angels), Juno Temple (Dirty Girl, Killer Joe) and Houston native Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls). it originally premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2012, and hasn't screened in Austin previously.
The Brass Teapot follows John (Angarano) and Alice (Temple), a young newlywed couple struggling to make ends meet. Feeling down on their luck, they happen upon an antiques store where Alice discovers a unique brass teapot. It appears to be just another junk-store find until the couple discovers that the teapot can give them all the money they desire -- in exchange for hurting themselves.

John (Michael Angarano) and Alice (Juno Temple) are a young couple high on love and low on net worth. He goes to a job he hates every day while she struggles to find even that much, but their lives are upended when she’s compelled to steal an old, brass teapot from a rundown antique shop. The teapot, like something designed by O. Henry’s more sadistic brother, dispenses cash when in the presence of pain. As John states and promptly ignores early on, this is going to end badly. Almost immediately the duo are taking turns hurting themselves and each other for the blood money that fills the pot. They smash, hit, and burn themselves. They get tattoos, Brazilian waxes and root canals. And they agree that they’ll stop as soon as they reach $1 million. But greed has a funny way of helping people rationalize even the most idiotic decisions, and...

The Brass Teapot marks the feature-film directorial debut of Ramaa Mosley. Dealing with Mosley’s love and fascination of magical objects, the film stars Juno Temple and Michael Angarano as Alice and John, a married couple very much in love with each other and also very broke.
As they try to stay one step ahead of their dire financial situation, Alice suddenly comes into contact with a mysterious brass teapot and soon discovers that it spits out money anytime she hurts herself intentionally or otherwise. But while it looks like she and John have suddenly found the answers to all their troubles, they eventually wonder just how far they are willing to get the money they think they need.

Ramma Mosley's “The Brass Teapot," based on a screenplay by Tim Macy, who wrote the short story and the 2007 short film that served as a jumping-off point for this feature, tries hard to be a moral fable, a reflection of today's challenging economic tides and the college graduates weathering them with limited success. With the help of a talented cast, “The Brass Teapot” is able to coast on charm for the first hour, but then the fairytale idea that powers the film runs out of juice, and the last forty-five minutes hurtle toward a wrap-up that feels both awkward and overwrought, needlessly portentous and arriving much too late. Leads Michael Angarano and especially firecracker Juno Temple are the reason to keep watching, but even they cannot breathe life into a compelling concept stretched too thin. Opening with an enchanting look at the travels of the titular mythical object throughout history,...

The first trailer and poster for Ramaa Mosley‘s The Brass Teapot are now online. The upcoming quirky, dark comedy stars Michael Angarano (Haywire) and Juno Temple (Killer Joe) as a young married couple beaten down by life who soon discover that if they have to suffer why not do it for cash.
The two find themselves in need of financial assistance when Alice discovers a magical brass teapot that shoots out cash whenever she and her husband hurt themselves.
It starts with Brazilian waxes, dentist visits, and tattoos, but quickly devolves into something more dangerous as screenwriter Tim Macy is also presenting the comedy as a commentary on materialism and what drives people to want more.
Temple told ComingSoon.net:
I like scripts with a moral and that’s a great message to send that money doesn’t make you happy. It really doesn’t. That’s what that...

Director Ramaa Mosley’s feature debut, The Brass Teapot, was announced as one of the final additions to the Tiff line-up next month, and now we’ve got our first images of the leading stars, Juno Temple (The Dark Knight Rises) and Michael Angarano (Red State).
The film is based on a short story by Tim Macy, who penned the screenplay, having worked with Mosley on a 2007 short film adaptation of the same story.
“An impoverished young couple (Juno Temple and Michael Angarano) stumble upon an antique teapot that magically dispenses cash whenever either of them feels pain, inspiring them to ever-greater extremes, as they ascend the ranks of the nouveau riche. Director Ramaa Mosley eschews violence for a more whimsical, Tim Burton–esque treatment in this offbeat, darkly funny satire.”
The brilliant Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development), Alexis Bledel (Sin City), Ben Rappaport (Outsourced), and Matt Walsh (Ted) complete the supporting cast nicely.

She may have been nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category this year for her work in Animal Kingdom, but Jacki Weaver isn’t yet a household name in America. But, she’ll get another shot at catching the attention of the U.S. soon, as Deadline reports that the Australian actress has joined the cast of Park Chan-wook‘s Stoker.
We don’t know who she’s playing just yet, but this is quite the prospect. With a cast that already includes Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman, and Matthew Goode, it’s written by Prison Break actor Wentworth Miller (under the pseudonym of Ted Foulke), and is centered on a young girl named India who is visited by her strange uncle, Charlie, after the death of her father. Wasikowska is the girl, Goode is the uncle — a role originally meant for Colin Firth — and Kidman is the girl’s mother.
