'Between Me' is about the ramifications of childhood sexual abuse on three adult survivors and their loved ones. Frankie is a chronic masturbator and fantasy addict. When his beloved wife finds his porn collection, she follows him to a sex and love addicts meeting where she publicly shames him, uncovering a truth she cannot comprehend... her straight laced farmer husband is also into men.


Frankie and Amanda (Dan Hamill and Amber Field)

Also present at the meeting are Will and Isabelle who are soon to be married. Isabelle is a self confessed love addict who is terrified of commitment, yet she has met her person. She invites Will along to the meeting only to reveal a devastating secret to the group about their sex life, something he didn't even know.


Will and Isabelle (Adrian Auld and Chloe Boreham)

And Monique, a sex addict with a dark past, picks up a newcomer at the meeting, Roach, a womaniser who leads her on them dumps her just as hard. Questions of love, loyalty and truth arise from here on in.


Monique (Leone White)

 According to ABS statistics, in Australia one in three women and one in five men are sexually abused. That's one at least one in three to five of your friends, colleagues or family members. And it happens in all cultures, across all socio-econmic groups and religions.

Childhood sexual abuse can lead to issues with basic self worth, hatred of one's body, eating disorder,s continual flashbacks, nightmares, hormonal dysfunction, a mountain of shame, depression and anxiety, problems saying no and physical and emotional trauma during sex. For some, the pain of sexual abuse can also lead to other problems including sex addiction, severe self-harming and for some, it ends with suicide.


Isabelle (Chloe Boreham)

Sadly, many survivors don't talk about it due to fear - fear of perpetrators, fear of shame and blame, fear for their survival. People sometimes then just avoid relationships all together but then of course long for connection. And this is the same for some of the characters in the film, for instance Roach as he runs from intimacy with Monique.


Roach (Michael Argus)

'Between Me' sends a strong clear message - Speak the Unspeakable.  Honesty. And this is what the characters are grappling with in the film.

With your help, we can finish the film and get it screened around the world and inspire survivors to break the silence and speak the truth about their sexual abuse. Together we can contribute towards putting an end to this epidemic that tragically exists behind closed doors everywhere and encourage people to move beyond fear and shame towards healing and authentic and safe, heartfelt intimacy.

The Challenges

The obstacle for this film is the shameful code of silence around sexual abuse that exists in most countries today. Molestation, assault and rape, are often not talked about, especially not in public, so making a film about an issue that many people sweep under the carpet is not an easy mission. However, this culture of secrets and lies and people suffering in silence is exactly why we are making the film - to inspire people not only to speak the truth but also to inspire others to listen so they can do something about it. And given that one woman in three and one man in five in this country are sexually abused, it's time we took action. The more we normalise people talking about sexual abuse, the easier it will be for survivors to speak out about it and get the help they need to heal and the more difficult it will be for perpetrators to abuse and reoffend.
