The heartwarming family feature film Windcatcher, starring singer, songwriter and actress Jessica Mauboy and introducing talented newcomer Lennox Monaghan, is now available to stream on Stan.

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 in their small country town.

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. Percy Boy must overcome his fears, prove his resilience and become a force to be reckoned with.

From writer Boyd Quakawoot, director Tanith Glynn-Maloney and produced by Meg O’Connell and Drew Grove, Windcatcher features a talented cast which includes award-winning singer, songwriter and actress Jessica Mauboy – her first film since The Sapphires 12 years ago – and new talent Lennox Monaghan in the title role. 

They are joined by Max Turner (F.A.N.G (From A Nearby Galaxy)), Coco Greenstone (I Am Woman), Kelton Pell (Mystery Road: Origin), Pia Miranda (Looking for Alibrandi), Ngali Shaw (The Twelve) and Lisa Maza (Wentworth).
