About this Short Film
A Cup of Josie (Hayden Huynh, Australia, 2020) is a short film that examines work, learning and belonging through the lens of apprenticeship, employment and café culture. Rather than offering a single answer, it raises questions about perception, prejudice and the assumptions we make about intellectual disability in the workplace. Viewers can expect honest, everyday moments that highlight staff dynamics, TAFE pathways and the practical side of cooking and service. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, the film contributes to conversations about inclusion and opportunity, reminding audiences to look beyond stereotypes and recognise varied abilities. Hayden Huynh presents the material with a restrained, thoughtful approach that invites reflection.
