"Director Chantelle Murray’s new family film The Lost Tiger is the first
animated feature written and directed by an Indigenous woman.

Continuing with a long history of Indigenous storytelling, Murray has embedded
the film with themes of identity, heritage and adventure. In doing so, she
tells a story that is utterly heartwarming and wholly unique to place.

In Murray’s own words:

I didn’t have anything like this growing up. I had the things that
reinforced the horrible narratives of Indigenous people globally. So, to
have something there for the next generation, representation means
everything.

The film is produced by Brisbane-based and woman-run Like a Photon Creative,
the studio behind The Sloth Lane (2024) and Scarygirl (2023)."
