Mermaids Necklace

About Me

The Mermaid's Necklace is a short film made in Brisbane Australia in 2007, by Evelyn Hartogh, Maxine Stibbe and Mandy Curties, edited by Nick Douglas, music by Paul Jones. Its a character driven adventure, a manga costume drama of mythological proportions. Set on the fabulous Gold Coast, Mermaid Max enlists a Wonder Woman to help retrieve her stolen necklace. They follow the clues to Surfers Paradise and find Mistress Mandarella. Out come the magic lassoo, the whip and the swords, then the mighty magick from Atlantis in unleashed!!! Stop the Barbies! is the stand alone sequel to Mermaid's Necklace, made in Brisbane in 2008. A Wonder Woman and Mandarella, her new side kick, find a new enemy in President Barbie and her Barbie Army. With the help of Peter Parrot the politician and Police Chief OReilly, they battle the Barbie Army in New Farm Park. WIth music by Wayne Kington, and the acrobatic talents of Janette Hull and Moorea Jamai from Vulcana Circus, this short film is stunning and funny. Steve Bowerman plays Parrot and Andrew Leavold the Police Chief. Sydney's Francine McLennan Smokevitch stars as President Barbie. Wow, national screenings are what we new film makers dream about. So where ever you live, you can see Stop the Barbies! as part of the Trasharama film festival. Yipee!
