About this Short Film
Lucas, directed by Kasimir Burgess (University of Melbourne, Australia, 2020), explores themes of achievement, determination and family alongside considerations of congenital and intellectual disability. Through striking visual and musical moments the film invites a thoughtful look at the everyday efforts, support and faith that shape a young person’s experience. It also touches on exercise, volunteering and community connections, offering a textured impression rather than a linear story.
