In this experimental fashion film, a young woman enjoys a peaceful, secluded picnic before venturing into the bustling city. “Australian Sweetheart”, by Jane Inyang, is composed of a series of elegant images portraying a feeling and a style. We’re paying close attention to the clothes and the compositions. A muted color scheme allows pops of red as she bites into a raspberry, or drinks from a juice box.

Directed by Jane Inyang. Starring Yana Edwards. DP: Samuel Vines. 1st Assistant: Tahsin Rahman. Stylist: Elle Hioe.
