Everywhen

Feature Film

A mother comes to terms with a disturbing dreaming, as she reimagines it.

The Desert Knows Her Name

Feature film - Lia Hills' novel has just been optioned

On a hot October afternoon, a girl walks barefoot out of the Wimmera desert, near the small town of Gatyekarr. She finds sanctuary with Beth, a regenerative farmer and collector of seeds, devoted to bringing her family's farm back to life. The arrival of the mysterious 'desert girl' unsettles the community and old tensions erupt. The longer the girl stays silent, the more volatile the town becomes. Who is she and what does her presence mean? The Desert Knows Her Name is an exquisite novel that speaks to a deep longing for connection with the land, and the silences that persist in contemporary Australia.

Someone in the Dark

Immersive VR Game

Someone in the Dark is an immersive, interactive experience for a young audience that takes them into a mallee fowl’s mound where they meet a young (unhatched) chick Mallee who does not want to go into the outside world. She is accidentally “hatched” by a lost echidna Puggle, and together with the audience they gradually emerge after overcoming hurdles and facing down fears.

Around the Traps

Children's animated TV Series

Around the Traps follows the unlikely friendship between Mac, a cranky yet endearing quoll with a mysterious past, and Banjo, an abandoned hunting dog with a heart full of compassion. As they embark on a thrilling journey through the Australian Bush searching for a place to call home, their bond and bravery is tested as they dodge predators, evade man and tackle the wild forces of nature all while learning to trust each other.
