The World Premiere is announced. Follow the link to purchase tickets or jump on the wait list.

We're so grateful to everyone who's come along for the ride, making The Last Daughter into a film!

It takes a lot of people and partners to make a film. Some have come for a day, and others have been on the journey for years.
Everyone contributes.

Looking forward to bringing this to the big screen...
Now we're back to the edit suite ;)

・・・
In 1973, the Simon family were staying with friends in country New South Wales.

Nan was a young mum with seven children.
One afternoon, a Child Welfare Officer knocked at the door, spoke with Nan and took all seven children. Pop came home from work to find all his children gone.

Child removal laws were changed four years prior, so the NSW Government do not classify them as part of the stolen generation.

Pop went straight to the police station to get help, thinking they would realise their mistake.
He was told to “get a better job, and a better house, appear in court, and you might have a chance to get your kids back”

Head on over to The Last Daughter and join us.

We have such an incredible team of crew and cast (and all their families) helping to put it together.

The journey begins as we film the recreations of Brenda’s childhood.

And what a way to start.

Friends!!! We need some help.

We are currently in pre-production for our film The Last Daughter (See earlier posts for more info).

Forgot to tell you about this win!

AIDC was super helpful in seeding "The Last Daughter" with International market partners. Very well received, and super encouraging to hear that this is a universal story, not just for Australians.

Looking forward to sharing more about the project with all of you soon.

Programs - Bus Stop Films Bus Stop Films` Accessible Film Studies Program is taught by industry professionals and emerging filmmakers.

In 2017, we (Simon and Brendon) had the great privilege of meeting Brenda Matthews, an unassuming woman, with an incredible story.

It’s a story that has helped us see the world in a new way, and a story we’re now helping Brenda to share with the world.

If you’ve heard us talk about the feature documentary we’re working on… this is it! -- THE LAST DAUGHTER --..
We’re excited to share that Screen Australia has selected The Last Daughter to receive funding through their Producer Program! It's a great acknowledgement for the importance of this special story, and the team around it.

We’re on the road to finalising the finance, and we’ll be starting production in 2022 - ready to share with you late 2022 and into 2023.
