Three Chords & the Truth, the debut feature film from writer/director Claire Pasvolsky, starring Brisbane musician Jackie Marshall, will have special Q&A screenings around the country, ahead of a national cinema release on October 5.
The film was selected at the Brisbane International Film Festival and the Sydney Film Festival, as well as CinefestOz in WA.
The film is about Angie, who could have been one of Australia’s leading musicians if she wasn’t so self-sabotaging. Now in her forties, she finds herself terminally ill and alone. She struggles financially and plays in a seedy pub to fund the recording of her final album. When Angie meets Ruby, a teenage runaway, she teaches her to write songs as a way to heal the past.
The film is inspired by musician Jackie Marshall’s own life story. Jackie wrote and performed the original songs on the film. Maisie Owens (Bump) plays Ruby and the film also features cameo appearances by television personalities Richard Wilkins and Julia Zemiro.
