This month's muffin

[ photo goes here ]

Mira, 14 · Ōtautahi

Meet Mira — backyard documentary maker

"I just pointed a camera at my chickens for a year."

Mira spent twelve months filming the flock in her backyard and turned it into a 9-minute doc that screened at her co-op's film night. She edits on a borrowed laptop, names every hen, and reckons the secret to good footage is "sitting still for ages until they forget you're there." We're stealing that advice for everything.

Know a kid doing something brilliant, weird or kind? Put them forward.
