BlackbirdOriginal Film

Blackbird is an award-recognised independent film that playfully dissects the post-grad employment crisis through sharp comedy and surreal character moments. Created as a narrative short film, it follows a well-intentioned graduate navigating the increasingly absurd world of temp work - a story told with wit, timing, and a distinctly off-beat charm.

Shot by Palladian’s lead cinematographer, the film balances humour with a grounded visual style, elevating the script’s quirky tension while keeping the world intentionally heightened. Its bold, creative choices and comedic edge earned it multiple festival screenings and industry recognition.
