The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2025 - Issue 38

bitefilmreview clarity: behind every headline is a human life, and behind that life, a family negotiating unimagina- ble weight. Produced by WePresent, the arts arm of WeTransfer, the film has already screened at ma- jor festivals including BFI London Film Festival and HollyShorts in Los Angeles. Its wider release through schools and youth organisations feels especially significant, aiming to highlight not the violence itself, but the emotional aftermath that so often goes unspoken. In just a few minutes, Highway to the Moon holds grief, beauty, fear, and hope in the same breath. Wright’s debut arrives with a voice that is com- passionate, grounded, and deeply attuned to the realities young people face today. As she explains, “If this film can help just one young person feel seen or start a conversation, it’s done its job.”
