Warmly and positively received by Sydney audience, Little Sparrows made its first appearance during the recent Sydney Film Festival.

FROM THE OFFICIAL SFF PROGRAM
This nuanced, heartrending independent feature debut traces the emotional lives of three sisters whose mother Susan (Nicola Bartlett) is dying of cancer. One summery Christmas lunch is the pivotal event around which the films elliptical structure revolves, moving with grace between the interior journeys of the three daughters and Susans own reconciliation with the life she has lived and her impending death.
The eldest daughter Nina (Nina Deasley) is widowed with two young children; Anna (Melanie Munt) is an actress married to a filmmaker and Christine (Arielle Gray) is a medical student. All three struggle to define themselves, their relationships with each other, their loves, and their detached actor father (James Hagan). Simple and sincere, this intelligently conceived film exhibits a depth and attentiveness that mark West Australian director Yu-Hsiu Camille Chen as a talent on the rise.
Clare Stewart, Festival Director of Sydney Film Festival
While at the Cannes Film Festival, Bolderpictures signed Paris-based international sales agent, Urban Media International (UMedia - www.umedia.fr) to promote its debut feature film, Little Sparrows. It is first time an Australian movie has made it into UMedia's exclusive line-up, and is one of only seven for the year.
Directed by Yu-Hsiu Camille Chen, Little Sparrows received considerable attention from the arthouse market, despite the fact that it is still inpost-production and yet to have its world premiere.
The affective trailer garnered wide interest from key territories, stretching from Europe to Asia. The follow-up festival success of Little Sparrows will definitely contribute to the anticipated international sales of this Perth indie feature.
Moreover, the Bolder team engaged in a numbers of international co-production discussions with various strong partners for future projects.
Little Sparrows proudly features an all WA cast and crew.
