Maya Newell is a documentary filmmaker in Sydney whose body of work is a beautiful testament to the power of documentary to engender empathy. Her first feature documentary, Gayby Baby, followed the experiences of children of same-sex parents, and her second, In My Blood It Runs, is a cinematic portrait of a young Indigenous boy in central Australia - it was selected for the Sundance Music and Sound Design Lab.

Often working with her participants as credited collaborators, Maya's documentaries are emotionally stunning and politically vital. Her most recent film, The Dreamlife of Georgie Stone, is a half-hour Netflix Original following teenage trans activist Georgie Stone.

In this interview, we chatted about her beginnings in video art, the experience of recording an orchestral score for In My Blood It Runs at Skywalker Sound, and how she and Georgie Stone discovered a format and tone that would suit Georgie's story.
