Girl Asleep

The world is closing in on 14-year-old Greta Driscoll. A teen at a crossroads, she can’t bear to leave her childhood behind because it contains all the delightful things that give her comfort in this otherwise incomprehensible world. Existing in a bubble of security alongside only friend Elliott, Greta’s parents decide to throw her a surprise 15th birthday party where she’s taken well out of her comfort zone and flung into a strange parallel world of ludicrous circumstances and twisted logic, a place where only she can find herself.

A colourful coming-of-age tale set in 1970’s Australia, featuring funky music and inspired dance sequences Girl Asleep is a bold journey into the absurd, scary and beautiful heart of the teenage mind.

Nominated for Best Film and Best Direction at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards. Nominated for Best Feature Film in the Generation 14plus competition at the Berlin International Film Festival. Winner of an ATOM (Australian Teachers of Media) award for Best Education Training Video.
