Kasey is Missing Episode 1 - Phoebe

What would you do if your best friend went missing?

Something is not right for Ricky. She hasn’t seen her best friend Kasey in weeks. Her Cousin doesn’t care, nobody cares and what’s more she is having strange dreams. This is a young girl on a mission to find her best friend. The story reminds us of the unmistakable strength of childhood friendship and innocence destroyed by the realities of life in Western Sydney. Ricky meets many people on her journey. Her Cousin Phoebe, who has her own problems, Connor who is a real jerk, the loving a thoughtful Sarah and Aunty Mary. Each is looking for a Kasey of their own.

This 5 part web series is the result of several years of collaboration with Nepean Community and Neighbourhood Services (NCNS). From story development to performance workshops to several weeks of shooting and hours of editing, this process allowed us to collect local stories over several years and developed them with the community into a narrative.

Produced by Information and Cultural Exchange (ICE) in partnership with Nepean Community Neighbourhood Services. Made possible with funding from Crown Resorts Foundation, Packer Family Foundation, The Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation and Penrith City Council.

ICE receives core support from Arts NSW, Screen NSW and The Department of Families and Community Services.
