Produced by Ravendesk Conspiracy, this Australian coming-of-age masterpiece follows the gripping journey of 19-year-old Fylo, who, upon discovering he is about to become a father, grapples with the complexities of personal relationships and the challenges of growing up. Touching on themes of mental health in youth, sexuality, identity, isolation, friendship, relationships, selflessness, and personal growth, Teenage Vertigo is a relatable and thought-provoking story that resonates with audiences from all walks of life.
Co-written by Adam Lang and Liam Ridolfi, Teenage Vertigo weaves together the unique perspectives of both writers, infusing the film with a deeply personal touch. The story unfolds against the backdrop of Lang’s own experience of becoming a father at the age of 20, adding an intimate layer to the familiar coming-of-age narrative.
In Teenage Vertigo, viewers will join Fylo on a single day that changes his life forever. As he navigates the challenges of impending parenthood, Fylo also grapples with his own identity and the intricacies of his relationships. The film’s emotionally charged storyline serves as a poignant exploration of the human experience, delving into the depths of self-reflection, personal growth, and the transformative power of facing one’s fears head-on.
