When your name is Esther Blueberger, life can be tough. And when you’re a 13-year-old girl attempting to survive life, school and your impending Bat Mitzvah (not a typo, but the female equivalent of the Jewish coming of age ceremony - it's from the Aramaic, but that's probably too much information), it’s even worse.
Whale Rider’s Keisha Castle-Hughes will found out just how problematic when she stars in Hey, Hey, It’s Esther Blueberger, which must already be in the running for Films Whose Titles We Think Will Change Before They Hit Screens.
Still, she’ll have Toni Collette along for support in the film, which will be written and directed by Cathy Randall. The film will shoot in Sydney and Adelaide this October.
