At last year's Fantasia International Film Festival one of the short films to make a big impression was Matthew Chuang's Mathilda, which took out the Silver Audience Award. Twitch is now proud to present the short which just launched online.Featuring a standout performence by young actress Virginia Cashmere, Mathilda is pitched as a modern fairytale.

There’s a new screening series starting up in Melbourne, Australia that’s hoping to connect filmmakers directly with local audiences. It’s called Digital Independent Cinema Exhibition — Dice, for short — and its first screening is all set to take place on Oct. 6 at 1000 £ Bend with the feature film Braille.
Dice was founded by Mark Lipkin as an effort to help promote and strengthen the film industry in Melbourne. Screenings will take place once a month where an independent digital Australian feature film will be shown followed by a Q&A session with the filmmakers.
This will give the community the opportunity to come out to see the faces and hear the voices of those making interesting and intriguing local, independently-produced films. It will also give audiences the opportunity to learn about and understand the actual nuts and bolts about the entire filmmaking process.

The story behind the making of the Australian film, Braille, is testament to the fact that a few words of encouragement can go a long way. In 2006, Luke Graham and Matthew Chuang made a short film which came second in the Qantas Spirit of Youth Awards. While the boys didn't take out the major title, member of the judging panel and director, Phillip Noyce, noted the boy's short was "imaginative, original, resourceful and witty." "His words were encouraging enough for me to go out and buy a Panasonic HVX202 [camera] with my producer Luke Graham and we decided to make this heist film," Chuang recalls about the origins of Braille.
