The Mentor

Amanda Redfern, a one-time Hollywood star, has spiraled in her later years.

When twenty-something actor, Jordan Ridley, turns up at her doorstep to be coached by the renowned veteran, the up-and-comer gets more than he bargained for. The unlikely pair discover a vastly different set of perceptions across themes of sexism, ageism, respect, consent and mental health. They find their methodologies as actors are fueled by vastly different lived experience.

THE MENTOR is driven by a mature female voice, juxtaposed against an idealistic male perspective. It highlights that socially, equality and equity are still values that haven’t been achieved. It demands that we consider how we treat the most vulnerable, and how we examine our own privilege.
