An Experimental Drama chronicles a high schooler's determination to live a [literally] picture-perfect life. Vera curates pleasant memories in the form of still frames; memories she has a habit of tampering with as if it were Photoshopped. In the days leading up to an important interview, she has an unexpected and disturbing encounter. As she struggles to erase the image from her brain, key memories from her past begin to unravel, threatening her very reality and the idealized life she had built for herself.

Things Are Good is nominated for BBFF2023’s Young Australian Filmmaker of the Year.
