Freefall

Kate is a young single mother trapped in the grind of everyday life. With each day pulling them further apart, she struggles to provide emotionally for her withdrawn son Peter until a series of mysterious and magical events challenge her to see Peter for who he truly is.

Freefall was developed in 2006 through the Short Fuse programme operated by Screen Tasmania and AFTRS. The programme assists local filmmakers with their professional development. Following a competitive pitching process, two scripts were selected to proceed to the next phase of professional script editing before each film received a grant for production.

Production was completed in March 2008.
