Help take it to the world
Filming on With You is complete. Shot at Nitmiluk on Jawoyn Country with a remarkable young cast and crew, the film now moves into post-production and its impact campaign — festival submissions, educational screening materials, and community outreach to put it in front of the young people who need to see it.
Laurens Goud's pitch for the Australian Cultural Fund — a government-endorsed platform that allows donors to make fully tax-deductible contributions to Australian arts projects.
"I'm thrilled to be a part of bringing this film to life with Laurens and the team. My writing often explores those liminal spaces where the physical and the metaphysical converge. Complex human emotions manifesting in a character's world and them only being able to overcome them through a deeper internal struggle or self-acceptance. This project not only encapsulates those themes through visual storytelling, it uses the innate beauty and fear of the natural landscape as a canvas. I'm excited to dive in deeper With You."
