Mortified
> About
Australian Children’s Television Foundation
120 VFX shots, 26 episodes
http://www.actf.com.au/distribution/mortified.htm
Currently on air, the ACTF’s Mortified tells the story of Taylor Fry and her family.
On the brink of adolescence, a girl’s got a lot to deal with; a changing body, a flood of hormones, relentless judgement by her peers, even perhaps the stirrings of a first, unrequited crush. In Mortified, Taylor Fry is confronted by the lot.
Although she’s a lively, smart-lipped kid with plenty of courage and attitude, the truth is she feels as if she doesn’t belong (and with a father known locally as “The Underpant King” who could blame her?) - but eventually Taylor must confront the truth – she is who she is.
Despite frequent flights of fantasy where animals suddenly talk, and Egyptian mummies come to life, each episode is firmly anchored in reality – its core is truthful – and also very funny.
Awards: Winner of the 2006 AFI award for Best Childrens Television Drama and Best Live Action Television for “tools” at the 2006 Chicago International Children’s Film Festival.
