Growing up is never easy, and Rosemary Myers' debut feature Girl Asleep dives headfirst into the anxiety every adolescent faces.
The film stars Bethany Whitmore as Greta Driscoll, who is dreading turning 15.
Greta's well-meaning parents decide she should have a surprise 15th party, which throws her into some kind of parallel place.
The film looks visually stunning, like a nostalgia trip injected with a Wes Anderson dose of whimsy.
The movie has already played several film festivals, and is scheduled to open in Australia on September 8.
