Waverley

The story of 15-year-old Kaylee who lives in a caravan park with her father. Ostracised by the community around her, the motherless Kaylee finds daily solace with the wild horses in the local marshland. In this, at times, challenging portrait, the resilient Kaylee’s encounter with an enigmatic stranger compels her to re-evaluate her future.

Waverley

Waverley is an intimate portrait of an ageing woman whose ordered existence is disturbed by a random accident. Whilst seemingly trivial, the accident triggers a deep-seated emotional crisis and a palpable sense of unease develops. Lying beneath her apparent veneer of self sufficiency is a troubled mind. As the space around her becomes more threatening and the darkness closes in, Waverley is forced to confront her past and to try to come to terms with her hidden demons.
