Woven Threads
NSW member Michi Marosszeky is currently involved in a project which she has written and directed - we thought you might like to know about it. Its a nine part animation series called Woven Threads one episode of which has been completed. Michi is using the crowdfunding model to raise finance for the remaining eight. Heres a little about it: Woven Threads brings to life stories surrounding the diversity of immigration, through humorous, poignant, and always touching animated videos. The aim of Woven Threads is to connect people through story. It is designed so that the debates, disputes and hysteria that surround immigrants, refugee's and asylum seekers might be put aside for a few short minutes while the humanity and the uncertainty of life is explored.
