Mike and cohost, actor Joey Viera featured Australian actress and filmmaker Aurora Iler. An Award-Winning filmmaker and actress with a passion for creating film projects that focus on content affecting awareness of important issues.
At just 11, Aurora wrote and directed her first movie ‘Melon Head’ – a film about the importance of Helmet Safety. Her film was proudly entered in numerous film festivals.
Now 13, Aurora has garnered attention for her latest short, ‘Grape’ - a film she wrote, directed and stars in – bringing to light the dangers of vaping. A serious addiction risk to children and teens. ‘Grape’ has received rave reviews and has been recognized at film festivals globally – including the world-premiere in Beverly Hills where Aurora was awarded ‘Best Up and Coming Actor’ at the 15th annual Lady Filmmaker awards. As well, her film received a nomination for ‘Best Social Impact Film.’ At the Mammoth Film Festival, Aurora was nominated for ‘Best Actress in a Short’ and walked away with a Mammoth in Ice trophy for being the ‘Youngest Filmmaker in Attendance’
Since then, Auroa starred as ‘Abby’ - the lead role in ‘Magic Chalk’ - a film for the not-for-profit charity ‘Rize Up’ helping mostly women and children and has also been nominated by the 45thYAA Awards for ‘Best Actressin a Short Film’
This was a wonderful chat with Aurora Iler. Mike and Joey really enjoyed chatting about her process as an actress and filmmaker. 'Grape' sends a clear message and offers insight into the vaping addiction crisis among youth not only in Australia but world-wide!
