A very personal film about an out-of-wedlock pregnancy is the first in this year's Someday Stories, a platform that helps emerging filmmakers to create their first professionally-funded, short film project. Mary Mary is written and directed by Ella Gilbert, and it will be released tomorrow. It's the sixth series of Someday Stories, which has now delivered a total of 36 short films. The project mentors filmmakers aged between 18 and 29, and helps them tell their own stories. Ella Gilbert, currently appearing in Circa Theatre's production of Skin Tight in Wellington, talks to Lynn Freeman about why the story of Mary Mary was so important to her. Ella Gilbert's film Mary Mary is released tomorrow as part of Someday Stories Series 6.
