From All Sides - Campaign Final Push Reel!
Our crowdfunder closes in LESS THAT TEN HOURS! What an incredible journey it’s been! Check out this reel which sums up how far we’ve come, and hints at what we’ll be able to achieve with your generous support.
Leading man Max Brown on why he’s excited!
‘It’s us. It’s a story about us. Background. It’s our culture. It’s our lives as they are today in 2022. It’s our faces. It’s tender, it’s funny, it’s loving, it’s relatable…gut punches in there as well, which just feel so real…’
Magnetic leading man Max Brown on why he’s excited to play the role of ‘Pascal’ in Bina Bhattacharya’s directorial debut feature film ‘From All Sides’ (and why you should donate to the film’s crowdfunding campaign in our final hours!)
Max also mentions the generous support of Western Sydney arts organisations PYT Fairfield and Campbelltown Arts Centre who have sponsored a number of paid internships in entry-level crew roles.
Bina directing her friends at her 7th birthday party.
With ONE DAY TO GO on our crowdfunder (link in bio), @fromallsidesfilm Writer/Director Bina Bhattacharya shared this priceless home movie:
‘This is a video from my 7th birthday party. All I wanted to do was boss around my friends and make them act out a script I had typed and printed on old computer paper. It was called ‘The Upside-Down World.’ You can hear my father chuckling as he dutifully recorded the whole thing on his camcorder and took my ordering him around with good humour. Coincidentally, it’s my son’s 7th birthday this weekend.
Almost 30 years later, I’m about to direct my first feature film. Our crowdfunder to enhance our production CLOSES IN ONE DAY.’
If you haven’t donated yet, do it for this little girl.

Mark your calendars! @fromallsidesfilm writer/director @binafilmmaker Bina Bhattacharya's first feature film as a screenwriter "Here Out West" @hereoutwestfilm which she co-wrote with 7 other Western Sydney writers, is screening on ABC TV and will be available to watch on iview from 8.30pm Sunday August 14. 📺
"Here Out West" is an important milestone in Bina's journey to the big screen. Her chapter "The Eternal Dance" is a moving and deeply personal story about her own father's declining health and will give you a glimpse into the power of her storytelling and the strength of her cinematic voice.
The stories from her fellow writers are equally as bold and searing. Don't miss it! 🔥
Caption: Video essay by "From All Sides" Writer/Director @binafilmmaker on the influence of John Waters' unique sense of place. Bina Bhattacharya says her aim is to do for Campbelltown what John Waters did for Baltimore.

Congratulations @parvynmusic and director @sanapanghal who’s new music video “Irkha (Jealousy)” dropped yesterday!
“From All Sides” writer director @binafilmmaker directed Parvyn’s first music video “What You See,” and it was a match made in heaven! Parvyn has generously offered to provide some music to the final film and we can’t wait to make art with her again! 💕

Bellal Hassanein reading as Clyde at the Table Read
From page to table read: we were so fortunate to have Bankstown Poetry Slam alumnus Bellal Hassanein step in for the crucial role of Clyde in our table read. 🔥✨
In the script, Clyde is written as a 13 year old boy. Given the content of the script, we couldn't have a child present for the full table read but Bellal generously stepped in and gave an extraordinary performance as Anoushka and Pascal's angry, confused and instantly relatable eshay son.
Thank you Bellal! 🔥
