Unsaid

A documentary series about the conversations we never had.

WHAT IS UNSAID?UNSAID is a documentary project exploring the emotional landscape between parents, adult children, siblings, and friends, through powerful, honest, and deeply human interviews.This is not therapy. It's not a reality show.It's a guided space to share your story and perhaps hear someone else's truth too, sometimes moving, sometimes surprising, and occasionally even funny.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FORWe're currently inviting expressions of interest from:✅ Adult children (23+) willing to reflect on their upbringing, family dynamics, and key emotional moments✅ Parents who are open to sharing what raising their child was truly like; mistakes, memories, and love, even if unspoken.✅ Sibling pairs or other close family connections with an emotional story worth sharing.✅ Friends who’ve shared a meaningful journey with someone where love, conflict, loyalty or loss have left something unsaid or deeply felt.✅ Contributors who may want to support the project in other ways (filmmakers, editors, psychologists, location owners, funders)You don’t need to be a performer or storyteller. Just someone with a genuine willingness to explore and be heard.

ABOUT FILMINGWe keep things simple, respectful and low pressure• Time commitment
Each interview takes around 60–90 minutes. We also allow time beforehand to help you settle in.• Where we film
Most interviews are conducted in Sydney. If you're based elsewhere, you're still welcome to express interest.• Not everything will be released
All interviews are non-committal. Some may be published, some may not. You’ll be kept informed either way.• Emotional safety matters
You’re never pressured to answer anything you’re not comfortable with. You can pause or stop at any time.• Consent & release
Before filming, we’ll explain everything in plain language. You’ll only sign a release once you're fully comfortable.• The end result
Some stories may appear as part of a documentary series. Others may remain private; but all deserve to be heard.

OUR PROMISE TO YOUEvery story is different; funny, surprising, emotional, or all of the above.
Whatever yours holds, we’ll treat it with care and curiosity.
You’re in control of what you share, and if you're unsure, we’re happy to talk it through, no pressure.

THE STORY BEHIND UNSAIDDuring COVID, both of my parents chose voluntary assisted dying (VAD) in Victoria. I had time. We knew what was coming.And still, so much was left unspoken.I’ll never know how they truly experienced some of the moments we lived through together. And they’ll never know how I experienced those same moments.
Because even when we’re in the same room, even when we love each other, we all live inside our own version of reality.I never asked how they saw me. What they carried. What they were proud of. What they regretted. Whether they felt they got it right.
That’s part of the reason why I’m making Unsaid.It’s a documentary series about parents, adult children, siblings and close friends; people with shared histories but different truths. Not the neat, polished version of relationships and experiences. The real version. The version where it’s remembered what happened, what hurt, what helped, and what they’ve never told each other.As far as I know, my parents may have been the first couple in Australia to choose VAD. Their ending was peaceful. But the silence before it stays with me.
