That’s a wrap on While We Were Making!

Two young artists, over the span of a decade, navigate the challenges of art, work, relationships, and the ever-changing Australian entertainment industry. Dedicated to all the artists out there hustling and fighting for what they love.

This is a short/proof of concept for a larger feature we have in mind, so stay tuned because there’s much more to come!

Special thanks to the incredible team that brought this to life
