‘Chicken’ Short film (with director Alana Hicks) as part of Flickerfest 2020

Alana was kind enough to join Thursday’s drive to talk about her film, cultural identity, the film industry and Flickerfest on the eve of Sydney’s Internation Short-Film festival and her debut as an entrant.

Check it out for a first-hand insight before seeing.
