Synopsis

With problems on the home front, 16-year-old Murra is on the verge of lashing out. That is, until her policeman uncle averts her self-destructive behaviour with a lifeline: a “photo- safari for at-risk kids”. On the trail, the teens learn about friendship, first crushes and their true selves, as well as the forces of ‘reality’ that puncture the bubble of youth.

Director’s Bio

Jub Clerc is a Nyul Nyul/Yawuru woman from the Kimberley in Western Australia. Jub spent many years in theatre before moving into film and television. In 2014, she directed and adapted Abbreviation, a chapter from Tim Winton’s The Turning and in 2020 she directed 2 episodes of The Heights S2. Jub‘s debut play The Fever and the Fret premiered at Yirra Yaakin Theatre Co, and won the 2017 Kate Challis Award. The French translation of the play is in partnership with Maison Antoine Vitez and The Australian Embassy in Paris. Jub credits the experience of the Photo Safari as the inspiration for her life’s journey as a filmmaker. It is fitting that her first feature film should be inspired by this remarkable story.
