A GROWING SLATE OF BOLD SCREEN STORIES

Mana Film Productions is developing a slate of projects across feature film, television, documentary, short film and digital content. Our slate is built around bold ideas, cultural depth, commercial potential and audience connection.

ORANGE SKY: A CLEAN START DOCUMENTARY

“A Clean Start” follows Cass as she shares the daily reality of housing insecurity through intimate self-filmed diaries from life in her car and her connection with Orange Sky.

Alongside Orange Sky’s mobile laundry, shower and conversation services, the film observes how practical care can create space for trust, hope and connection. The orange chairs become a quiet meeting place, where washing, waiting and conversation offer a pause in the day and room for people to meet each other without judgement.

A Clean Start invites audiences to look beyond assumptions about homelessness and understand how quickly housing security can be disrupted by illness, rising costs, job loss and fragile support systems.

The film encourages respectful language, stronger community support and practical action alongside people experiencing homelessness and hardship. At its heart, A Clean Start is about empowerment, care, agency, impact and the power of being seen.

We are currently seeking partnerships and donations for this project. We’ve recently been approved to showcase our project on Documentary Australia where you can make tax deductible donations, any help is much appreciated as we show through this documentary how important CONNECTION really is.
