STRANGER, BROTHER

When self-absorbed and lonely millennial Adam wakes to find his estranged half-brother on his doorstep one morning, he must face the family he’s been running from.

Annelise Hickey is a director based in Naarm (Melbourne), Australia. She started her directing career in music videos and commercials, but her true love has always been narrative. Being of Tongan and Irish heritage, Hickey has always been drawn to stories about minority communities and tales of belonging.
