Moreblessing Maturure (Photo credit: Kristina Yenko).
Moreblessing Maturure plans to make her screen directing debut on a segment of Masc (working title), an online anthology which examines modern masculinity through female and non-binary lenses.
Separately the Zimbabwean/Australian writer/performer is developing several projects with the Afro Sistahs Collective.
Masc’s key creative drivers, Laura Nagy and Madeleine Gottlieb, invited Maturure to become the eighth member of the team, joining Renée Marie Petropoulos, Hyun Lee, Imogen McCluskey, Shari Sebbens and Cloudy Rhodes.
Developed with Screen Australia’s support, the anthology explores different stages of the subjects’ lives in ascending age, beginning with a young child and ending with an older man.
“The series has a particular focus on diversity, exploring masculinity through the lens of different cultures, sexualities and gender identities,” Easy Tiger’s Rob Gibson, who is co-executive producer with RevLover Films’ Martha Coleman, tells If.

‘Love Bug.’
Forced to self-isolate, Imogen McCluskey spent two weeks writing, directing and editing a webseries about dating during the pandemic, based on personal experience.
The result is Love Bug, which will premiere on Aftrs’ Facebook page from 9 am this Sunday followed, she hopes, by other platforms such as Vimeo.
The show follows two characters played by Maddy McWilliam and Justin Amankwah, who are dating although they are in self-isolation.
The relationship ebbs and flows as they both lose their jobs. They communicate via Facetime and texts, raising questions about the nature of dating and commitment.
Writing, rehearsals and filming took place in one week, followed by several days of post. The director and actors filmed the face-to-face calls over Zoom, with Imogen watching on a minimised screen. Her frequent collaborator Lucca Barone-Peters composed the music.

Hyun Lee.
Born in Sydney to Korean parents, emerging filmmaker Hyun Lee identifies as Asian-Australian and is starting to learn Korean.
“A lot of Asian people living in Western countries do tend to get lumped by their appearance into that big group of Asians,” Hyun tells If.
“My experience of being Australian is a version of being Australian that many people can relate to and some other Australians may not relate to.”
Lee is writing and will direct one episode of Masc, a seven-part online anthology which will give female and non-binary perspectives on contemporary masculinity, with development funding from Screen Australia.
Each segment will focus on a different man at his particular stage of life. Hers will centre on a group of Asian men who gather at a skate park, one of whom has a broken leg and a broken heart and is miserable. She likens the tone to...

Cloudy Rhodes.
Filmmaker and photographer Cloudy Rhodes is carving out quite a career, helped by mentors Justin Kurzel and Samantha Lang.
Rhodes, who identifies as non-binary, was born in Bondi to hippie parents who named her after the sky, and grew up in Sydney’s northern beaches.
(For the sake of consistency this article will refer to Cloudy as she, although she often uses the pronouns them and they).
After leaving school she pursued photography and pro-surfing. The turning point came when Justin Kurzel saw some of her photographs and encouraged her to become a filmmaker.
A recurring theme in her work is queer narratives which are uplifting. “I want to focus on telling positive stories to queer kids and stories that give people hope,” she tells If.
Currently Rhodes is writing and will direct one of the segments of Masc, a seven-part anthology which will give female and non-binary perspectives on contemporary masculinity,...

Laura Nagy first met Ian Collie when she was a casting coordinator on Doctor Doctor and he later hired her as his assistant at Essential Media in 2017.
Spotting her potential, Collie asked Laura to follow him and colleagues Rachael Turk and Tanya Phegan when he departed to launch Easy Tiger in 2018.
He then asked the emerging filmmaker to join the Easy Tiger development team, where the 2010 Aftrs graduate is nurturing several projects. “Laura is an absolute gem and multi-skilled – a filmmaker in her own right,” Collie tells If.
Laura says: “I am queer and I started writing those stories because a lot of it was exploring things I felt in my real life and wasn’t necessarily talking about.
“Once I started doing it, it got easier and people keep asking me to do it,...

Madeleine Gottlieb is co-developing a seven-part online series which will give female and non-binary perspectives on contemporary masculinity as well as writing a feature for Revlover Films’ Martha Coleman and Lauren Edwards.

Her co-collaborators are Nagy, Renée Marie Petropoulos, Hyun Lee, Imogen McCluskey, Shari Sebbens and Cloudy Rhodes. Each segment will focus on a different man at his particular stage of life.

The feature is Panyee, which is set on the man-made floating island of Koh Panyee in Thailand, to be directed by Matt Devine, inspired by his short Panyee Fc.
The narrative will follow a group of young Thai boys who build a rickety football pitch in their floating village,...

‘The Unboxing’.
There’s a guiding philosophy that’s successfully steered much of Hannah Lehmann’s career so far: When people are spending so much time on their phones and social media anyway, why not give them interesting content to watch via their apps?
Lehmann’s short-form work has garnered millions of views, with the Sydney filmmaker first grabbing industry attention after she distributed her 13 x one minute drama series The Out There via Instagram back in 2016. That led to her getting signed with Gersh Agency and Pathfinder in the Us and a Snapchat Original commission in Two Sides, premiering last year. Screen Australia also recently sent Lehmann to La as part of its Talent USA delegation, recognising her as an up-and-coming talent.
Two Sides, which she created, wrote and directed follows a teenage couple navigating a modern-day breakup in a split-screen format, showing both characters’ point of view of the breakup simultaneously.

‘Top End Wedding’, ‘Hearts and Bones’ and ‘The King’ are among the 34 longlisted films.
Some 34 feature films will compete for nominations for this year’s Aacta Awards, and the longlist covers a diverse range of titles, from box office earners like Top End Wedding and Storm Boy, through to critically lauded films like The Nightingale and micro budget indies such as Suburban Wildlife.
However, perhaps the most notable inclusion in the longlist is David Michôd’s Netflix Original The King, which premiered at Venice Film Festival last week to an eight-minute standing ovation.
Typically, to be eligible for Aacta Awards, a film – even when made for a streaming platform – must have paid cinema screenings in Australia or local festival play.
Aacta has made an exception for The King, which is not due to play in Australian cinemas or in festivals before its release on Netflix later this year, because of...

Short-form storytelling is having a moment, and Sydney filmmaker Hannah Lehmann is capitalising on it.
In 2017, she distributed her series The Out There, which she wrote, produced and starred in, using Instagram. Each of the 13 episodes ran for just a minute.
The Out There piqued the interest of Us-based media company Adolescent Content, who bought the rights, and backed a second instalment.
Off the back of the second season, Lehmann signed with Gersh Agency and Pathfinder in the Us. Snapchat then went on to commission a series she wrote and created, Two Sides.
Released over the weekend, Two Sides follows a teenage couple navigating a modern-day breakup in a split-screen format, showing both characters’ point of view of the breakup simultaneously. There are 10 episodes, each five minutes in length. Lehmann also directed the series, shot in Austin, Texas, starring newcomers Kai Kadlec and Maeve Whale.
