We need to talk about loneliness. New Aussie thriller IN THE ROOM WHERE HE WAITS faces fear of isolation head on.

The unnerving, slow burn feature film stars Daniel Monks and Susie Porter, and follows Tobin Wade, an ambitious young star whose deepest, most subconscious fears crawl to the surface when he is forced to isolate in a hotel room before his father’s funeral.

Though many of us introverts believe we’d thrive in solitary confinement, In The Room Where He Waits will make you question that resolve… just as Tobin must as he is forced to confront whoever – or whatever – is trapped in the hotel room with him.

It is the haunting debut film from local Australian filmmaker Timothy Despina Marshall, and will have its South Australian premiere at Palace Nova Eastend, Friday June 7th.

The film had its world premiere at Mardi Gras Film Festival 2024, where it was one of Variety’s Top 5 Picks for the Festival.
