Ready For This at MIP Jr

Produced by Werner Film Productions (Dance Academy) and Blackfella Films (Redfern Now), Ready for This will be launched at MIP Jr in Cannes in October.

Set in inner city Sydney, Ready for This is the story of six teenagers, all elite within their own field, each with a different agenda and different dreams.

They have come together to live at Arcadia House. For some it’s the opportunity of a lifetime, for others it’s a last chance. In order to survive the year, the six strangers must find a path through new challenges and adventures. A long way from home, the last thing they expect to find is family.

Ready for This tells the story of what it’s like to be thrown together in a big city to pursue your dreams, while dealing with all the trials of growing up.

Ready for This is distributed internationally by the ACTF.
