So excited to finally share the trailer for my first feature film! Woohoo! @seendocumentary
This project has been my obsession for the past two years, and I’m overjoyed to see it begin its journey out into the world.

First up, a huge shoutout to the incredible@_samjockel producer her passion, enthusiasm, drive and connections in the parenting space made this film a reality. Thank you, Sam!

@annikadamon our amazing editor - We’ve been working together for nearly a decade, and every time, it’s a privilege. Annika brought her incredible talent to this project, and her friendship helped me navigate this tricky topic. This film is a true reflection of our combined strengths, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve made together.

@markdesiatov who created such stunning visuals for this film.
@markbroadbent who filmed gorgeous interviews and @tristanhearstheworld and Alicia Butterworth for perfect sound on our interviews too!
@taghaode123 , our amazing line producer—you turned chaos into calm and made the impossible doable.
Our amazing composer Mark McDuff and the magical @sounds_like_mike who did sound design.
Also @billywychgel for the grade!
Honestly I could not ask for a more delightful and clever team. THANKYOU!

And of course, my deepest gratitude goes to the incredible humans who opened their lives to this story: Terry Downes, @anne_in_plain_sight @zidiascounselling and @joewilliams_tew @phoenixwilliams_@brodiwilliamss - Your courage, honesty, and wisdom have been a guiding light for me—and I hope, for everyone who watches this film.

Also the experts @prof_selena_bartlett @laelstone@drbillygarvey@maggiedentauthor @nathandwallis @dr.vanessalapointe I feel so honoured to have spent some time learning from you all! Thank you!

Also @parenttv is the production company.

This has been the hardest thing I’ve ever made, but it’s also the thing I’m most proud of. 💕

I have been so amused and delighted by this man of late and I had to capture it all up into something I can just play whenever!

Life is really is such a wild journey and so nice to have a buddy like this! @surfistatomato makes me laugh and smile. We have been in this game(long term relationship) a very long time and seen plentyof tears and anger and upset too! But there is something magical and joyful when we keep growing and choosing to be moving toward our true selves and each other. Thankyou my darling buddy!

Here are a few BTS on a very fun adventure job I just did with the clever team at @rumblrs with @count_moustache making @markdesiatov and I laugh way too much!
Also thanks to Rhys for this photo of me taking selfies with the local horses.
The outback prickles are something else! Beware they explode and leave thousands of tiny burrs in everything!!
Be sure to see very tiny museums when you go!
Check out golf too and don’t be tempted to pick the wildflowers apparently they turn into prickles too! All in all Australia you are wild, hot, hilarious and I love you.

I was super honoured to model with my gorgeous @zalirae for the awesome @eastcoastgeneral photographed by @lisa.sorgini

Sadly at the time of the shoot I was so shocked at how much older I looked and uncomfortable with myself that I did not share it! Hahah!

One minute I’m all embracing ageing and loving the human I am…. Then well next min I’m not! 😹🤯

The funny thing is I’ve gotten older since this and now I think I look great here! 🤣 Yes I’m aware this is all very vain and insane but here we are human-ing through life!

Latest work for Anglicare – three spots, two days, one incredible team. Here are some tiny snippets!!

Had an absolute blast working with the amazing @bec_str and the crew from @thehero.co – thanks for making the chaos so fun.

It takes a village and every person brought their A-game. Felt lucky to work with such talented, kind humans.

Dear Melbourne peeps! Our doco @seendocumentary is screening 20th of July at 18:45 pm at @cinemanova
Part of the Melbourne Doco film festival - book now!
Join me (Director- Hailey Bartholomew) for the Q and A after!
Love to chat and hear what resonates with you.
Will post link to buy tickets in stories!

Hello just wanted to share one of my favourite lines in the film! Hope you have your tickets! Check out the website for all the screenings around Australia and NZ or the link on the site to “host a screening” - to request a screening near you! While this quote pertains to parenting - I think it useful for all of life!

So excited by the response the trailer we posted recently. If you haven’t got a ticket you can buy tickets over on the @seendocumentary page - we already have sold out sessions!

I’m at the Gold Coast screening at HOTA and the premiere in Sydney. Hope to see you there.

It’s a tricky process to make a film and a whole separate tricky process to getting it actually getting it seen. @parenttv and @_samjockel_ certainly are making it happen! Go team!
