The Bilum Story
Film & TV
‘The Bilum Story’ is a 20-minute documentary showcasing the people, history and significance behind the art of Bilum weaving in Papua New Guinea. The purpose of this film was to bring focus to the economic empowerment that has been fostered for women due to the international retail demand of bilum products. It follows pioneers in the industry, Florence and Lina and fellow peers, and how their relationships with retailers have brought about change for them and others, and recognises the importance of continuing creative cultural industries in the Pacific.

About • Biography

Hello - Liver here! Another Aussie transplant plonking themselves in Berlin to see what special soup can be cooked up in this special place. With a background in journalism, filmmaking, editing, producing and scriptwriting, I am a ‘jack of all trades’ type creative with a lot of experience working with the social justice and nonprofit sector to produce short documentaries, animations and podcasts with a cause. I took a career break in 2024 to travel & volunteer, before settling in Berlin with the intention to pursue comedy performance and screenwriting, and join the thriving community of clever creatives in this city. ‘Liver’ was born out of a comedy duo I formed with a fellow kooky soul, with characters and an act we intend to evolve and continue performing in the wonderful queer performance spaces and collectives. I am also writing a mockumentary television series with a fellow filmmaker and have a keen interest in voice acting. Get in touch at lgshearer1@gmail.com :)
