Sweet As

Sweet As is a 2022 Australian coming-of-age drama film, directed by Jub Clerc, starring Shantae Barnes-Cowan and Mark Coles Smith.

Murra, an Aboriginal Australian girl from a troubled family, discovers a passion for photography while participating in a youth retreat.

Sweet As was directed by Jub Clerc. It was written by Clerc and Steve Rodgers, and produced by Liz Kearney.

It is the first Western Australian feature film directed by an Indigenous Australian person, and the film was shot on location in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Screen Australia provided major funding investment, with additional funding coming from Screenwest and Lotterywest, and support from the Western Australian Regional Film Fund Melbourne International Film Festival Premiere Fund and Film Victoria.

The film premiered on 13 August 2022 at the Melbourne International Film Festival, and had its international premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival in September 2022.

Screening at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival in February 2023, the film took home the Crystal Bear. In March 2023 it screened at the Birrarangga Film Festival in Melbourne.

Distribution rights for Australia and New Zealand were acquired by Roadshow Films, and Sweet As was released in Australian cinemas from 1 June 2023. It was subsequently made available on streaming services Binge, Foxtel, and Amazon Prime Video.
