![Run Rabbit Run Writer On Exploring Monstrous Motherhood Through Film [Sundance]](https://i.headtopics.com/images/2023/1/29/screenrant/we-spoke-to-runrabbitrun-screenwriter-hannahfkent--we-spoke-to-runrabbitrun-screenwriter-hannahfkent--1619793718088814592.webp)
We spoke to RunRabbitRun screenwriter HannahFKent at Sundance about the themes of motherhood and alienation in her film debut, and the process of adapting her own novels TheGoodPeople and Devotion for the screen:
When Sundance Film Festival kicked off this year, the economic aftereffects of the pandemic had many concerned about the state of the independent film industry. It was a relief, then, when projects like Run Rabbit Run still got snapped up by distributors such as Netflix. The quiet horror film, which takes place in South Australia and makes excellent use of its setting, serves as acclaimed author Hannah Kent's screenwriting debut.
From there, we fell into the proverbial rabbit hole of exploring motherhood and dislocation from one's own children. That then led to what would happen if you yourself had a very traumatic childhood. The conversation evolved in a very organic way, and it was always intended to be for film. Whenever we were conceiving of character, we were also thinking of place, which I think is quite important in the film.
Sarah Snook is amazing in this role, and I couldn't imagine anyone else playing the role. But I know that Elisabeth Moss was initially attached, and the director Dana Reid had previously worked with before. How did Sarah Snook come into the picture? I think the character of Mia really developed adjacent to the examination and exploration of Sarah's experience of motherhood. We wanted to capture those moments of intimacy and closeness, but at the same time really go deep into the ambiguities and the rupture of that connection between a mother and a daughter.
Hannah Kent: Run Rabbit Run has been a very steep learning curve for me. I spoke about the openness and encouragement that Anna and Sarah gave me as a debut writer for the screen, and I remember saying to them, "How do I do it? Is it just dialogue? What's the other stuff?" But then they said to me, "Write it as a novelist," and that was the greatest advice that they could give me.
