Maid Mother Crone

Our elements are hereditary.

Our silence and visibility are not.

Maid Mother Crone explores visibility, equality, rage, potency, and healing. This fictionalised non-fiction film will confound the expectations of roles and behaviours, overthrow notions of conditioning and dive deeply into instinct, perception, body horror, sexual representation, and ultimately freedom.

Earthing Productions, Elin Gunnarsdotter Sandvik, Rosetta Drenth, Rebecca Palmer and David Ogrodowski co-produced a teaser for Maid Mother Crone in 2023.

Written, directed and played by Elin Gunnarsdotter Sandvik, Rosetta Drenth, Rebecca Palmer, the transversally funded short was shot by Alice Millar in Edinburgh, Scotland and has been selected by Cine Pobre Film Festival, Montreal Women Film Festival and was a semi finalist at New York International Women Film Festival.

The writers began developing a new draft of the feature in a Rotterdam workshop in August 2024 and the script consultant on the project is screenwriter and director David Pope.

The feature film will be a sustainable, environmentally responsible co-production between Scotland, Norway, and the Netherlands. The producer at Earthing Productions is Nadia Dermatopoulou. Producer Kate Swan is mentoring and overseeing the production development.

Earthing Productions are seeking transversal funding for the feature script development and production of Maid Mother Crone.
