In 2022, Claire’s documentary BIG SKY GIRLS premiered at the Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, followed by its Australian premiere at the Brisbane International Film Festival. BIG SKY GIRLS has screened on both SBS and NITV.

“Screenworks support came at a pivotal time in my career. It was wonderful to have my first feature film, Three Chords and the Truth, released in the same year as me being part of their programs, and to have Screenworks’ support to capitalise on the moment.”
