At the beginning of the pandemic, Will (the producer) and I were living in Washington Heights, New York with our one-year-old daughter. In our apartment block, one family lost their grandmother, grandfather and the mother of three children. Many families we knew lost people during that first six months – Will worked at a community centre in the Bronx, one of the areas hardest hit by COVID in the U.S. It was devastating and terrifying. Myth is the story that came to me during those very bleak days, when we hid in our apartment and rocked our daughter to sleep, praying that we would remain healthy and in a position to look after her. When we moved back to Australia a year later, we had the privilege of collaborating with theatre company Gravity & Other Myths, and were able to film the story we wanted our daughter to have, if anything should ever happen to us.
