Mum’s New Boyfriend is a short film about Ziggy. In his imagination, he’s a noble Elf, his mum a powerful Witch, and her charming new boyfriend Rob, a sinister Knight. As Rob moves in and reshapes their home, Ziggy suspects he’s manipulating Mum. Everyone says he’s overreacting until Rob’s birthday gift to Mum sparks chaos, fantasy, and truth.

The film is one of AFTRS' Year 3 graduation productions, student-led projects bringing together three years of learning, creative development and craft, produced as part of the Bachelor of Arts Screen: Production program.
