The Filmmaker:

About The Kangaroo:
The Kangaroo was filmed over four days on location in Long Island, NY, in August.  You can hear more about our adventures in the video above.

The film is about a little girl, Maya, who is super excited about her dad coming home from Australia.  Her teenage siblings are annoyingly negative and her mom is a passive interruption blocking her from making this day into the best day ever; the day dad's coming home!  Little Maya is in for a surprise

The Kangaroo is a coming-of-age story about that moment everyone has experienced in life - the moment when you understand that the world is not the way you thought it would be.  It is tough a tough realization, but with a fuller understanding of the world, comes the ability to better connect with the people around you.  The people who love you.

New Talent:
The production features some extraordinary new talent, including teenage actors Jimmy Brewer and Marisa Pierini, and our young protagonist, Megan Doyle.  When you become part of our team, you will be able to take part in the exciting adventure it is be there from the beginning of new talent about to soar.  Our little Mozart, Megan Doyle is also a singer-songwriter in the style of Regina Spekter and Lenka.  You can hear the theme song for The Kangaroo on our website:  www.thekangaroofilm.com.
