Marry Me

Marry Me

The story of a little girl who likes a little boy, and a little boy who likes his bike.

When Michelle Lehman handed Karl and Myles her script, the response was immediate: “You could win Tropfest with this.” Shot over two three-day weekends across Western Sydney on a Panasonic Varicam — one of the first productions in the country to use a P+S adaptor for a cinematic depth-of-field look — the film punched well above its budget in every department.
