iRony, a teenager's animated film, takes world by storm

At the age of 18, Radheya Jegatheva has clocked up more air miles in the past 12 months than an emerging movie star.

The Perth teenager is the writer, director and animator of iRony, a short film — and cautionary tale — about the intrusion of technology and social media in people's lives.

Since it was completed a year ago, iRony has won 74 awards and been selected for 168 film festivals around the world.
