The Project

An animated short film that asks the question: Is it possible to break up with your family?

We need your support to tell our story Only Human on Loading Docs’ award-winning short documentary platform. This is a deeply personal film about learning how to love, or leave, your family.


THE FILM

They say you can’t choose your family, but can you overcome irreconcilable differences with those you love the most? The youngest daughter of an unconventional Filipino family explores the complexities of communicating across countries, generations and the internet.

2020 has been the year of polarisation across the globe. People have found themselves at odds with close family members over everything from politics to religion, to whether COVID-19 is real.

Centred around the director, Mia, her siblings and their father, they explore the breakdown in their family‘s communication, the challenges of polarisation in the modern world, and what part the internet has to play in breaking them up.


THE TEAM

Mia Maramara is an emerging director, writer, and frequent Boosted donor. As a Filipino filmmaker working in New Zealand, Mia‘s projects have always existed in the genre space. Only Human is her first foray into animation and a deeply personal topic that she has spent a lifetime trying to untangle. Producer Kate Goodwin has made all forms of animated and VFX content across the world for the past 10 years.  


THE TARGET

As part of the Loading Docs initiative, we need to raise a minimum of $3,500 through Boosted. Stop-motion can be a costly process and most of our budget will go to animation production.

Once we reach our minimum target, it will unlock additional funding from Loading Docs. But, this is an all-or-nothing campaign. If we don’t reach our target, we get nothing! That’s why we need your help.

Loading Docs is an award-winning short documentary initiative to develop New Zealand filmmaking talent. Loading Docs is funded by NZ On Air with support from NZFC and Te Māngai Pāho.

 

Thank you for your support.

Mia and Kate
