Storybox Art of Doodling (AFTRS)
Is doodling an art form? In The Art of Doodling, young artists explain why doodling is an important part of their art and their lives and debate whether it qualifies as art. Animations bring the artists’ work to life and we watch them doodle as they try to untangle this unexpectedly complex question.
Film maker bio
Kylie Aoibheann McDonnell
Kylie is just your average asexual, transgender, lesbian filmmaker telling the raw, intimate stories you want to see. As a writer-director, she pairs her gritty and immersive, yet highly-personal style of filmmaking, with a passion for collaborating with diverse individuals and communities. After graduating from the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS), Kylie co-founded the independent production company Inner Pictures with producer Oliver Ellis. Her non-fiction work includes Farewell Happy Fields: an intimate, unconventional portrait of anorexia and depression featuring award-winning author Fiona Wright, which has screened across numerous international festivals. Most recently, she made See for Yourself, a psychological thriller in collaboration with the d/Deaf community, and features a breakthrough performance from Deaf and non-binary actress Bronek Lemów. The short premiered at MonsterFest and Image+Nation, and is currently streaming on ABC iView. Kylie is in pre-production of the queer romantic drama ASEXY, which was a finalist at Queer Screen's pitch-off and recently raised over $5.5k in crowdfunding. A full member (emerging) of the Australian Director's Guild (ADG), Kylie is also in development of her first feature film, DEADNAME: a transgender ghost story.
