2022 · Film
Released in 2022, Sweet As is a drama film directed by Jub Clerc, running about 87 minutes. “The Breakfast Club meets the outback in this uplifting coming-of-age road movie” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. With problems on the home front, 15-year-old Murra is on the verge of lashing out. That is, until her policeman uncle thwarts her self-destructive behaviour with a lifeline: a “photo-safari for at-risk kids”. Murra isn’t entirely convinced, but she soon joins cantankerous Kylie, uptight Sean, happy-go-lucky Elvis, and camp counsellors Fernando and Michelle on a transformative bus trip to the Pilbara. On the trail, the teens learn about fun, friendship and first crushes, as well as the forces of ‘reality’ that puncture the bubble of youth.
Who’s in it. Sweet As stars Shantae Barnes-Cowan as Murra, Mark Coles Smith as Ian, Ngaire Pigram as Grace and Carlos Sanson as Fernando, among others.
