MUMBAI: A new Australian short film titled Kindred, written and produced by Josh Bryer is to be the world’s first Indigenous sci-fi film.
 
Using crowd funding platform Indiegogo, Bryer has been running a campaign to raise $20,000 for the short film, the story of which is based on a ‘Dreamtime’ story by the Worora tribe of Western Australia which tells the story of the Wandjina, a tribe that ‘came down from the sky in boats and created the world.‘
 
“The film, set in present day, is about Warrun, an Aboriginal man who wakes up inside an Alien spacecraft and has the opportunity to break free from the aliens. There’s a zero gravity scene.
 
There’s a spaceship crashing into the outback, and at that point there is a twist that offers a big reveal, ” Bryer has been quoted to have said.
 
The film is likely to go on the floors early September at Nicholson’s On Productions’ Surry Hills studios.
 
Bryer hopes to premiere the film coming March and move around the festival circuit.
