Supported by Screen Qld Shonee attended the 2024 Festival De Cannes for the feature film "Heart of the Man" with producer, director and actor David Cook. This film was selected via the Queer to Screen #GoesToCanne initiative and is currently on SBS demand.  

THE SKY IS FALLING is a two character drama. Tensions rise when Tristan, a cheeky 9 year old foster child, being raised in a male same-sex parented family, is assigned a Mother's Day poem by his religious, Pasefika tutor, Miss Alofa (Shonee Samia).  Can the two put aside their differences to complete the assignment, or will the traumas of their past break them apart?  Can love and compassion find their way when all the time the sky is falling?
