Lunar Girl

Synopsis

A contemporary music-driven drama, tinged with magic and special effects, that takes you on a journey from innocence to adolescence. When Bebette's artistic and unconventional behaviour is interpreted as disruptive and anti-social, she is projected from the beauty and security of her dream world into a bleak and sometimes frightening reality. In an effort to escape the torment in her mind, she runs!

This is the first film written and directed by Janis Sharp and is full of optimism and charm, with an original soundtrack filled with mood and melody.
