Bathers (2024)

A short film that delves into the transformative power of female friendships within the captivating realm of West Australia's surf culture. Think Puberty Blues, but without the men. The film aims to shed light on the power of community, encourage more women to embrace surfing, and provoke dialogue surrounding localism and unfair hierarchies in surfing and society at large.

This exploration of grief and self-discovery aims to resonate with audiences and support those experiencing similar emotions. Additionally, the film explores a queer subplot, utilizing Emma and Tess's love story to symbolize Tess's courageous self-exploration, reflecting the theme of self-liberation and empowerment through embracing one's true identity.
