Hello!
My name is Bella, and in collaboration with my cinematographer Cerise Mabbott and producer Riley Maguire, I am making my final short film for my Advanced Diploma at film school (AFTT).
The funds I will raise for this film will help pay for my entire cast, on-set catering, production design needs and post-production support (sound mixing and music composition). Any donation will help!

Read below for a synopsis on the film:
A young woman attempts to navigate life as a relatively new twentysomething in a rapidly shifting modern world. As her struggle through family, work, relationships
and everything in between begins to show a new and uncomfortable side of herself, dark undercurrents suggest a deeper causality between the often extreme emotions she feels whilst facing increasingly greater challenges just to be a good person. With shades of Euphoria and Skins, Limerence explores a uniquely Australian, uniquely female and unequivocally honest perspective on the realities of living with bipolar disorder.
Why it's important for me to make?
Not many people know what Bipolar disorder truly entails. Since being diagnosed myself, the world around me became trickier to navigate, and I began to realise how misunderstood my own disorder was. Limerence is not just a story, but an experience where viewers can delve inside the mind of a protagonist who is barely aware of her own symptons, yet they are brewing under the surface, ready to explode.
My passion is to do justice to the female neurodivergent experience, giving representation where representation is due. I believe I’m equipped to tell this story having lived through the experience myself, and only hope more acceptance and understanding can be garnered from any audience members who don’t have a clear understanding about this complex disorder.
