Previous films

The 50-minute comedy drama which Kim directed for SBS, Jammin’ in the Middle E, (written by Howard Jackson, produced by Enda Murray of Virus Media) received rave reviews:

“Priceless, both in its humour and its capacity to open a window into the thinking of Muslims in Sydney's maligned south-west”
Sydney Morning Herald

“Revealing and delightful...beguiling...this brilliant little film radiates with catharsis…. Mordaunt directs with a kind of cinema verite intimacy and an aesthetic power that matches the social impact of this project...maybe there is a future for the Australian film industry."
The Australian
