Lilly Starr had led a colourful and sometimes painful life up to the day she was embraced by Pie and Mash Films.

Through the careful nurturing of  Maverick Director Bill Maloney and with no industry training she has developed from actress to film editor, freestyle street camera woman and co filmmaker in under four years.

Lilly Starr is a gifted talent with an eye for reality. She doesn't suffer fools lightly but has a heart as big as the moon when it comes to connecting with the most vulnerable in society. She has bravely come forward as a victim and survivor herself.

Lilly appeared as the lead actress in 'The Blunderers' a black comedy feature film; Was the lead camera woman on 'Sun Sea & Satan' a brave investigative documentary about the child abuse/murder claims from the Jersey Island Children's home 'Haut de la Garenne', which she also co-edited.

'Billy & Lilly go to New York' is a shocking docu/drama/spoof feature film with a twist which saw Lilly's rise to co-filmmaker. Now, along with Bill Maloney Lilly devotes her time and skills to her three boys who she recently regained custody of after a 13 year battle, and to exposing the injustices of institutional child abuse and the erosion of our civil liberties.

Climbing on roofs and through broken windows, dodging establishment security, and being kettled by the police - nothing will stop this woman. She  devotes 'SMILE' to the millions of child abuse survivors around the world.

"God bless all victims and survivors"
