Through Fault

Short Film, 2022

A naive Catholic woman volunteering as a HIV hotline counsellor receives a call from a dying young man who forces her to confront the realities of Australia’s AIDS epidemic.

“You’re the one reminding people they’re not gonna get AIDS from a bloody teacup, I’m sure you could put two and two together.”
