The daughter of famed Canadian filmmaker David Cronenberg, says she doesn’t feel any pressure to live to up to her famous father’s legacy as she awaits the release of her debut feature length film.

“Humane,” is set during an ecological collapse which forces world leaders to take drastic measures to curb overpopulation.

39-year old Caitlin Cronenberg, photographer and now film director, is sure her movie will invite comparisons to the darker work of her father.  But, she says, while there may be people who are disappointed the movie isn’t as sci-fi inclined as some might expect given her family legacy, she’s confident in her work.
