Sheila Outback Vengeance

A story carried by the dust and distance of the outback, where the land remembers what people try to forget. A fourteen-year-old girl flees a violently abusive father in colonial Queensland, survives the brutal outback alone, uncovers the bodies of murdered children — and is hunted by the very law she turns to for help. Forced into a life of outlawry alongside her uncle and her closest friend, she must decide what justice means when every institution has failed her.

SHEILA: OUTBACK VENGEANCE is the first film in a trilogy based on Gregory J Round's novel SHEILA Outback Vengeance. It is a female-led Australian outback western set against the brutal backdrop of late-colonial Queensland — part True Grit, part The Proposition, and entirely its own thing. Sheila Hamilton is fourteen years old. She rides a piebald mare called Pi, carries a Remington 44 her uncle Nick taught her to use, and she is running from a father who has violated every trust a parent can break.

Sheila The Journeys

These are the three screenplays about Sheila's life. They are written in screen play format. An example is the term 'Beat' which means 'pause'. The storys are a meditation on movement and memory, following lives that intersect briefly before scattering again. SHEILA: THE SOMME is the second film in a two-part saga. Where the first film — SHEILA: OUTBACK VENGEANCE — told the story of a fourteen-year-old girl forged into an outlaw by colonial Queensland's frontier violence, this film carries that same woman to the Western Front in 1916, where the industrial-scale slaughter of the Somme meets a protagonist who has already survived something just as pitiless and far more intimate.

SHEILA: THE MAGPIE is the third and final film in the SHEILA saga. Where the first film forged a colonial outlaw on the Queensland frontier and the second sent her into the industrial slaughter of the Somme, this film drops the same woman into the intimate, morally suffocating world of the Irish War of Independence — a conflict where the enemy wears no uniform, the allies are compromised, the trusted are treacherous, and survival depends entirely on the quality of your lies.
