MYA is a 7 minute short film of a young aboriginal girl struggling to find herself after her father leaves her and her mother. Guided by something much larger than herself, she sets off on a spirit filled journey through the veins of suburbia.

Why should I give money?

'MYA' is a story that needs to be told, a perspective that needs to be shared. Essentially, it's derivative of my experience growing up as an Aboriginal girl with light skin, trying to find my connection to culture. This story doesn't just belong to me, it's the story of many. It touches on racism balanced precariously with what could pass as a 'legitimate question'. MYA offers a whimsical view of culture revitalisation.
It's a heart story.


What do I get?

Apart from the rewards on the right, you'll get a warm fuzzy feeling knowing you've helped out tremendously!

The Challenges

The biggest obstacles that I face are getting the 20 cast and crew to the varied locations around the North Coast. I have a team of cast and crew that are generous and kind enough to volunteer their time to help me create MYA. The least I can do is try to cover the basic costs of transport and lunch.
