A lounge room disco .. solving a puzzle with a parrot .. or dressing up in a teddy bear onesie ..They’re the COVID coping strategies of Melburnians in lockdown.


Melbourne-based production company Monster & Bear have released a short documentary capturing an intimate look inside isolated households across the metropolitan suburbs, titled Iso-Cray.

Director Sarah Hickey says the idea behind the short film was to the shared experience of lockdown to Melburnians and give other states an idea of what they’re going through.
