SUFF Interview: Julie Pacino on her dark fairytale I Live Here Now

Julie Pacino’s dark fairytale I Live Here Now is a powerful and complex debut feature that places the audience in the space between dream and nightmare as Rose (Lucy Fry) finds herself in an impossible but familiar hotel where she confronts the shadows and scars of her psyche.

Featuring unforgettable supporting cast including Madeleine Brewer, Matt Rife, and the iconic Sheryl Lee: I Live Here Now is a battle for individuation and selfhood in an internal and external reality that is hostile to Rose and her ambition to take control of her life.

Playing at the Sydney Underground Film Festival on 13 September 2025 I Live Here Now will ignite the screen with Pacino’s bold vision. Tickets are available via SUFF.com.au.

Nadine Whitney spoke to Julie about what makes I Live Here Now frightening and empowering.
