Millie Lies Low is a sharp character driven comedy-drama that follows Millie as she anxiously navigates her way through a period of crisis in her life. She is both our protagonist and her own antagonist. Millie Lies Low is a female-centric film with themes of identity, options paralysis, self-representation and finding one’s place in the world.

Anxiety-ridden Millie is on her way from Wellington to New York for an internship at a prestigious architecture firm when a moment of panic causes her to miss her flight. She doesn’t have the money for another ticket, and a deep sense of shame prevents her from fessing up to her friends and family. So instead she lies low in her hometown in order to scrounge for another ticket, while using her wits and Instagram to convince her friends, boyfriend, mum, and the world at large, that she’s successfully living the dream in NYC. With her options running out she resorts to increasingly desperate schemes as her hastily constructed facade begins to crumble.
