“The Alexa Mini is such a workhorse, and the fact that it can still compete with many of the newer cameras that have come out over the past few years is honestly amazing.” — Harleigh English, Cinematographer

Nominated for Best Short Film in the Orizzonti Shorts Official Competition at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, this intimate short, directed by Jessica DiCosta and shot by Harleigh English, was captured on the ARRI ALEXA Mini with ARRI/ZEISS Master Primes.

So happy and grateful to share that my latest short film, Mothmama, will have its world premiere in the Orizzonti Shorts Official Competition at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival @labiennale 

This film only exists because of the generosity, talent and care of everyone who made it with me. It is my greatest joy to make things with other people, and I feel so lucky to have made this one with such a special team. 

Thank you to the @labiennale selection committee for welcoming Mothmama to Venice, it is an incredible honour.

We would like to acknowledge the Guringai and Dharawal peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which this film was made. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 

The stories we tell and the art we create are enriched by the enduring histories, cultures and knowledge of the First Peoples of this Country. We are grateful for the privilege of creating on their lands.

See you in September Venice!!
