Mischief Media is proud to be executive producing this year’s Screenability films. The three teams are impressive, with wonderful films underway. We look forward to sharing them with Sydney Film Festival. Thanks to Screen NSW Kyas Hepworth, and Hayley Johnson

An exploration of neurodiversity, a comedy-drama about a vision-impaired woman who strikes up an unlikely friendship in remote NSW, and a drama highlighting the complexities of being a hard-of-hearing teenage girl make up the projects for this year's Screenability Filmmakers Fund.

Happy new year everyone. To new growth and excitement for the future.

It’s been just 12 months and our little film Safety Net has had a wonderful year. We screened in the Sydney Film Festival during lockdown, then went on to be a finalist at NZIFF, and it was the only Australian film selected in the Unstoppable program in US’ Slamdance Festival! ABC TV added the show to their Re-Frame program and you can still catch it there on ABC iview
https://iview.abc.net.au/show/safety-net
We are so grateful for all the support our little film has had along the way and we are happy to report we are working on a feature film based on the work.

Only three days left to catch Safety Net as part of Sydney Film Festival 2020. We have been so thrilled by the response to the film so far, and would love to hear more! Tell us what you think! And do take some time to enjoy some of the other great films in the festival, all available online and Australia-wide until this Sunday 21st June.

When a documentary maker spotted a 15-year-old boy stacking cups in Adelaide’s Rundle Mall, so he could raise money to attend his first world championships, he’d found an underdog story in the making.
