Merging this recognisable pandemic-era backdrop with a pinch of the supernatural, In the Room Where He Waits is an intimate, claustrophobic tale of grief and abandonment while in lockdown.

In the Room Where He Waits is co-produced by Timothy Despina Marshall and Bec Dakin and stars Monks alongside Susie Porter, Annabel Marshall-Roth, Anthony Brandon Wong, Nicholas Papademetriou, Sunny S. Walia and Chris Bartholomew.

In the Room Where He Waits will be in limited release from June 6.
