The trailer for Windcatcher, a new Stan family feature starring Jessica Mauboy, has been released.
Set in a small country town, the Stan Original Film Windcatcher follows the unlikely friendship between Percy Boy, newcomer Keithy Cobb and the spirited Daisy Hawkins, as they band together to take the local school sports day title from a group of grade five bullies.
But as Percy Boy trains with the help of his mates, he then discovers his supernatural ability to see ‘Lost Souls’ – a gift passed down from his grandfather. In Windcatcher, Percy Boy must overcome his fears, prove his resilience and become a force to be reckoned with.
