Aurora Iler is a name you need to know. Why? At only 13 this young Australian actor is a Youth Oscar winner. She has also written, directed and produced two short films.

This movie triple threat is going to make you either question what the hell you are doing with your life or inspire you to do something with your life…

She flew from Sydney to be on the Mama couch with us and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her here to congratulate her on her Youth Oscar win and hear what is in store for this amazing teen. Including writing, directing and producing her first full feature film..

Aurora's exceptional talent has garnered her numerous accolades, including the Queensland Young Achiever of the Year Award in April 2024 for her significant 'Contribution to Community or Family Safety'. She made history as the Youngest Filmmaker at the Mammoth Film Festival in March 2024 and was honored as the 'Best Up and Coming Actor' at the Lady Filmmakers Festival in Beverly Hills in October 2023.

Yet with all these awards and achievements Aurora has had to deal with bullying and subsequently moved schools because of it. Still Aurora has so much grace towards her tormentors and just wants us all to appreciate the extraordinary in all of us.

As Millie so perfectly sums up in this podcast, after meeting Aurora, you just want to be best friends with her.

We hope you love this episode.

Please share and help spread the word about Aurora so she can find funding for her next film. You can follow Aurora at @therealaurorailer
