Towel Head 2021

Director: Sereen Omran

In the deep southwest of Sydney, Layla is preparing for a new audition that can determine the rest of her future. Layla’s ongoing insecurities become a combination of blaming her very, very arrogant subconscious and society for her lack of success. After breaking out of her comfort zone, she is turned away from the audition of her dreams for wearing a hijab. On the other hand, this is a story about people of colour living in a westernised world. But more importantly it’s about selflove and overcoming our personal struggles with ourselves.
