Daddy’s Little Meatball

An angsty teenage girl tags along with her feminine-hygiene-product salesman dad on a business trip to New York, where their relationship gets put to the test.
Drawing upon her own awkward teenage experiences, Yael Grunseit crafts a tender, funny and endearingly human portrait of a strained father–daughter connection, brought to life by evocative handheld photography and a dynamic pair of lead performances. Winner of Best Local Short Film and Best Cinematography in an Australian Short at Flickerfest.
