Sophie Hyde's Directorial Debut 52 TUESDAYS Streams on Fandor Today

In line with its day-and-date release, 52 TUESDAYS is coming to streaming platform FANDOR, exclusively today, March 27th!

This contemporary Australian coming-of-age story marks Sophie Hyde's directorial debut. Shot every Tuesday for 52 consecutive weeks, the film's unique form gives its story an extra layer of intimacy. The filmmakers themselves had set the rule that they could only shoot on Tuesdays, so whatever filmed on that day is what happens in the story on that day.

Hyde makes provocative and intimate drama and documentary work. Her short films My Last Ten Hours with You, Elephantiasis and Necessary Games, and documentaries have screened widely at film festivals internationally and won numerous awards. In 2010 Hyde produced feature documentary Shut Up Little Man! An Audio Misadventure, which premiered at Sundance 2011. That year she also produced and co-directed the critically acclaimed feature documentary Life in Movement. Hyde was Executive Producer on projects including Stunt Love and I Want to Dance Better At Parties as well as the online sensation Wastelander Panda. She is currently a recipient of the Sidney Myer Creative Fellowship.
