logline


Suzie Q: A Major/Minor Story follows Suzie, an ambitious young dolphin determined to study art despite growing up in a family that sees creativity as a risky career choice. As she prepares for university, Suzie finds herself caught between her dreams, her parents' expectations, and the influence of her lifelong best friend, Maggie. 


synopsis


Told across 31 short episodes, the series captures the awkward transition from adolescence to adulthood through the lens of university life. From open days and enrolment dramas to financial pressures, family conflict, and shifting friendships, Suzie's pursuit of an arts degree becomes a journey of self-discovery. 


Combining character-driven comedy with a distinctly Australian perspective, Suzie Q explores the tension between passion and practicality, asking what it really costs to follow a creative path. Beneath the humour is a story about identity, resilience, and the challenge of choosing your own future when everyone else has already decided it for you. 


Suzie Q has received production funding from Screen Australia and Screenwest and is in active production with a release date in Early 2027.
