Closing Thursday May 21st: BOOSTED for "Earthly Shadows"

WIFT NZ Member Ashleigh Roworth is crowdfunding for her new short film.

Earthly Shadows is a short film adaptation of the award-winning story by Fiona Kidman; one of Aotearoa’s most celebrated literary voices.

Following the success of his documentary The House Within, director Joshua Prendeville is now bringing Kidman’s precise, emotionally charged writing to life in a short film.

Set within a single meeting, Earthly Shadows examines what happens when art, identity, and power intersect. It explores the uneasy space between intention and perception; where the desire to do good can become entangled with prejudice, and where cultural frameworks shape not only the work itself, but how it is judged.

This is a film about pressure; social, political, and personal and the uncomfortable truths that surface when that pressure can no longer be contained.

Crowdfunding on Boosted closes THIS THURSDAY EVENING so let’s get amongst it!
