Piggy update 2025
Piggy – A Film That Demands to Be Made
At Wingman Pictures International, we are deep in the journey of bringing Piggy to life—a powerful feature film that tackles the raw and often hidden struggles facing today’s youth. Right now, the screenplay is going through its latest draft, with every word and scene refined to ensure that this story has the emotional depth and impact it deserves. Alongside the writing, we are also moving into the casting phase, searching across Australia and beyond to find the right actors to embody these complex, human characters.
“An important film for generations to look at society more deeply and to bring attention to a worldwide issue…”
Why Piggy Matters
Piggy isn’t just another film—it’s an urgent story that shines a light on the devastating realities of bullying, youth mental health, and the ripple effects these challenges have on families and communities. Too often these stories are whispered in private, hidden behind statistics and silence. Our goal with Piggy is to break that silence. We want to give voice to those who have suffered, those who have been lost, and those who continue to struggle in the shadows.
Films have a unique ability to spark change, to start conversations that might otherwise never happen. With Piggy, we are determined to create not just a film, but a movement—one that fosters compassion, empathy, and awareness in the face of one of society’s toughest issues.
The Challenge of Making a Film Like This
We won’t pretend it’s been easy. The subject matter is confronting, and because of that, securing the right partners and supporters has been difficult. Many shy away from the darkness, preferring safer stories. But we believe it is exactly because this story is difficult that it must be told. Piggy is not designed to be comfortable—it is designed to be truthful. And truth has the power to heal.
Despite the obstacles, we are pushing forward with everything we have. Every meeting, every pitch, every conversation is part of the larger mission: to bring this film to the big screen where it belongs. We know that when audiences see Piggy, it will resonate deeply. It will matter.
What’s Next
As we refine the script and search for cast members to complete our ensemble, we continue to approach organizations, partners, and individuals who share our passion for telling this story. This is a film that requires courage—not just from the filmmakers, but from everyone who stands with us to help bring it to life.
“Making films in this country with content like this is hard. However, so many people around Australia want to have something like this to educate our young and to stop these issues from happening in the future…”
A Call for Support
Piggy is more than a film. It’s an opportunity to stand up, to shine a light, and to make a difference. We are committed to working tirelessly until this film reaches the screen, because the message it carries is too important to be left untold.
This is a story for every parent, every teenager, every teacher, and every community. It is a story for all of us. And with the right support, Piggy will not only move audiences—it will change lives.
