AGG
is a dark romantic comedy written and soon-to-be directed by Shaina Ghuraya
Agg is about a conservative Punjabi family who decides to trick a man into an arranged marriage by hiding their daughter’s disability. However, the daughter, Agg, has schemes of her own. Being held captive in her room for most of her life, Agg decides the wedding is the perfect time to enact revenge against her abusive family. Will her violent (yet still tasteful) plan help her move from victim to survivor, or is it just going to consume her?
In December of 2020, Agg was the recipient of the prestigious SF Film Rainin grant for filmmakers with disabilities. In June of 2021, Agg also got into the Sundance Accessible Futures Initiative, and in July of 2022 Agg was part of the Women In Film and Sundance Financing Lab. Shaina and her two amazing producers K. Giselle Johnson and Jack Walterman plan to shoot in January 2023.
