We are devastated by the news of MIFF being forced to cancel their cinema screenings this year - especially after being so nimble, postponing a week, looking at the most covid-safe venues, and doing everything they possibly could in order to give Melbourne its favourite festival experience.

Luckily there is still MIFFPlay, and we're stoked that a short film we supported, FINDING JEDDA, is screening as part of the Australian Shorts Package.

Written & Directed by Tanith Glynn-Maloney, co produced by Tanith, us, and Unless Pictures, and financed by NITV, Screen Australia, and Screen Territory.

Australia’s finest short films.

Commissioned by NITV and supported by Screen Australia through their 'No Ordinary Black' program, with additional support from Screen Territory. Co-produced by us and Unless Pictures.

Screening as part of the Australian Shorts package this August. Tickets are on sale now!
