Michelle goes to Berlin

From Standing Room Only, 12:16 pm on 20 February 2022

New Zealand film-maker Michelle Savill has been hovering in the "Girl most likely" category for a while now, and it looks like that promise is coming true.  

Her debut feature is called Millie lies low, starring Ana Scotney and Rachel House.    Millie has a meltdown just as she's about to head off to New York.  Rather than tell her friends and family, she decides to hide out - to "lie low".  

And the big news was that Millie Lies Low was picked up to show at the Berlin Film Festival.  Simon Morris was impressed and spoke to director Michelle Savill immediately after the big awards there.   He first asked her how it felt to be invited to one of the top film festivals in the world.
