WHAT IS IT?
ICE’s first foray into the world of dramatic feature-film storytelling – tells the story of those chains that link us – and sometimes bind us, for good or for ill.
This feature project is produced by Amin Palangi and Billy Marshall Stoneking from the outcome of STUFF | THE DRAMA OF IT ALL, a filmmaking master class for emerging screenwriters and filmmakers from the wider Parramatta LGA to the world of dramatic, character-based screen storytelling.
We are seeking volunteer actors from diverse backgrounds to participate in this project. Please find below a list of all the individual stories, email us your contact details, your cultural background, and specify the role you would like to audition for.
Audition Date is this Saturday 12th of June.

PREMISE
Told through seven, inter-linked stories, the film dramatises a sampling of some of the cultural and generational challenges and conflicts that confront the multi-cultural community that is Sydney’s western suburbs. The focus for this exploration is the family, more specifically, the primary relationship of parents and children. This film also demonstrates that far from being an impediment to growth and empathy, diversity is an essential element in the cultivation and expression of tolerance and mutual respect.
