Award winning film at Mamapalooza Sydney 2012

Mamapalooza Sydney latest schedule includes  Film Night with award winning film Maverick Mother by Janet Merewether. 

At 39, Janet's biological clock was chiming a deafening 'tick-tock'. A film about single motherhood by choice and the contemporary role of the father. 

Also screening is Rock Chikz, hilarious dead-pan comedy series by Vee Malnar about all-girl band from Sydney's (almost) inner west. In this episode the band auditions for a replacement when their keyboard player and mum leaves to spend more time with her family.
