'Loren Taylor's directorial debut, “The Moon is Upside Down”, is an uproarious and cleverly dark-humoured rollercoaster. Against the backdrop of New Zealand's stunning countryside and gritty urban suburbs, three characters grapple with an insatiable yearning for connection. Taylor's directorial finesse blends humour and introspection, she invites the audience to both chuckle at life's absurdities and ponder the deeper aspects of the human experience. Her ability to navigate the fine line between comedy and contemplation allows viewers to connect with the characters, identify with their loneliness, and yet laugh out loud at their surreal circumstances. "The Moon is Upside Down” is a must-watch, a thought-provoking examination of connection, loneliness, and the unpredictable twists of fate.'
