A new Australian film project, written and produced by Josh Bryer, creative group head at M&C Saatchi, is to be the world’s first Indigenous sci-fi film.
Using crowd funding platform Indiegogo, Bryer with director Oscar Nicholson is running a campaign to raise $20,000 for the short film Kindred. The film’s current investment balance sits at $4,638.
The story is based on a Dreamtime story by the Worora tribe of Western Australia who tell the story of the Wandjina, a tribe that ‘came down from the sky in boats and created the world.’
Bryer told Encore: “The film, set in present day, is about Warrun, an Aboriginal man who wakes up inside an Alien spacecraft and has the opportunity to break free from the aliens. There’s a zero gravity scene. There’s a spaceship crashing into the outback, and at that point there is a twist that offers a big reveal.
