the wonderful and wise @nahahhahha interviewed @prlygrrrly and I on friendship, ego and filmmaking. You can read it now on the Melbourne Women in Film website❣️
Something to do with another film I’m making which has something to do with a Mother who’s raised her daughter to believe she’s the immaculate conception baby of Usain Bolt who’s destined for marathon stardom. Long sentence. They say you’ve got to have a vision.
sharing the Christmas lights back in Gisborne because my grad film The Tinsel Years found more homes in @byronbayfilmfestival and Sydney @liftoffglobalnetwork festival as well as being a semi finalist for @flickers.riiff ! Sending all love in the world again to everyone involved!!
One more week left to watch the tinsel years and finally learn what you get when you eat christmas decorations! Link in biooooooooooo!!!

The jig is up and my heart is full. Thank you a trillion times over to everyone who generously donated their time, talent and love to this little project about selfish people and mall Santas, you actually rock my entire world. Been touch and go here and there, but I’m coming out the other side grateful for it all. Maybe the Tinsel Years really was about the friends we made along the way after all! Keep your eyes peeled!!!

We’re looking for any and all Santa related family photos to deck out the production design on Donna’s perpetually Christmas decorated hoarder home
If you feel so generous, we’d love your contributions for a special cameo in the film!

We appreciated it! 🧑🎄
So incredibly delighted and giddy to be working with these wonderful artists over the next coming weeks!
Introducing Ella Ferris as Jane, a Taribelang actress and writer born and raised on Tjapukai-Yidinji Country, now living on Woi-Wurrung Country. A recent graduate from the Victorian College of the Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Acting), Ella was the recipient of the Meanjin InPlace Autumn Residency, composing a memoir on family and its weight. Ella’s recent credits include Shaz McIntyre in Stan’s ‘Scrublands’ and Lotte Sweeney’s VCA graduate short ‘Bottleneck’.
Introducing Alicia Gardiner as Donna, a Naarm based actress spanning an expansive portfolio in Australian film and television, including Cath York in Amazon Prime’s ‘Deadloch’, Kim Akerholt in Network 10’s ‘Offspring’ and Judith in Disney+’s ‘The Clearing’.
Feeling very grateful to put a face to a name with these two characters so near and dear to my heart. Lots of good things to come.
