Synopsis
A teen living in rural Australia, hustles money for the morning after pill, before its too late!
Inspiration
How thrill seeking can lead to life changing circumstances, which become harder to manage without cash flow.
Creative process
Idea’s come, and then it starts to grow into its own animal. I often like a research period too where I explore options and angles and vantage points before burrowing down on a streamlined set of parameters for the story engine and its characters. Were there particular creative, cultural or personal influences behind the work? My own instance of having an abortion as a teenager and the fear of how it would have effected my life.
