Coomera 14-year-old Oscar Bailey, along with his siblings Oliver, 12, and Orlando, 10, are the next generation of film stars.

The trio, who recently started their own film production company, Triple O Productions, will have their short film, Own You, premiered at Trop Jr on February 9 after being announced as one of 16 finalists.

Oscar said the film followed the story of 13-year-old Matt on a typical afternoon and the pressures teenagers face.

“The inspiration came from my 74-year-old Oma (grandmother) who gets up everyday and says, ‘life is good’, so it’s how you should be your own you and not let anyone change you,” he said.

The three boys are homeschooled, their mum Tina said it provided plenty of time for film making.

The trio have created four main short films, as well as several small pieces, with inspiration from their roadtrips to Cape York and Uluru.
