Created in just 48 hours as part of the TAKE48 2025 filmmaking challenge, held by the Sydney Underground Film Festival. Each team was required to include three key elements: • A mystery item: an egg • A line of dialogue: “That’s not how you do it.” • A bonus theme: a visual match cut. Cracked was written, shot and edited over a single weekend, earning 3rd Place overall and the award for Best Post-Production in the 2025 competition.

Isolated in the depths of a foreign ocean, Emily must confront her guilt ridden past to survive her new dangerous reality.

Set immediately after the events of CUT, Madeline and R must deal with the crushing fallout of their first encounter. Juggling both the physical and psychological trauma of what was and is to come, they realise their problems are bigger than just what's on screen.

After finding herself out of town, Lucy (Pyper Stancer) is brought into the lair of a crazed filmmaker, Karl (Thomas Bach) who knows a little more about her predicament than he should. As the situation escalates, Lucy must find out how to escape before the movie that is her life is CUT.

A young girl discovers the truth regarding the secrets of her past. Just as she discovers the truth, events take place that change her life forever.

With problems on the home front, 15-year-old Murra is on the verge of lashing out. That is, until her policeman uncle thwarts her self-destructive behaviour with a lifeline: a “photo-safari for at-risk kids”. Murra isn’t entirely convinced, but she soon joins cantankerous Kylie, uptight Sean, happy-go-lucky Elvis, and camp counsellors Fernando and Michelle on a transformative bus trip to the Pilbara. On the trail, the teens learn about fun, friendship and first crushes, as well as the forces of ‘reality’ that puncture the bubble of youth.

A youthful tale about 19-year-old Anise who wears her heart on her sleeve. Turbulence in her childhood home leaves her conflicted between trying to achieve her lifelong dream or nurturing her family’s kindred spirits. With the help of her witty, laissez-faire childhood friend Nina, Anise is determined to leave old patterns of behaviour behind and pledges pen-to-paper to fulfil her aspiring acting career. Through the creation of a list designed to ‘fix her’, we follow Anise as she attempts to overcome her feelings of responsibility to help others, versus living for herself.
