Finding Miss Almond is an upcoming film directed by Mark Webber (actor) telling the story of Isabel and Percy McDonald Smith's mission to help Aboriginal children in Australia's outback through their work at St Francis House. The film was inspired by the book A Life with the Lid Off by Sister Eileen Heath which contained an interview of Isabel Smith (nee Almond).^[1]

The screenwriter Mark Smith desribes the film as a way for people to "understand the legacy of the boys of St Francis House"^[2]. The children of St Francis House were Indigenous Australian boys, many of whom had gone on to become academics, activitists and successful atheletes. Their impact spreading across multiple generations of Autralians.

Finding Miss Almond, as the film is to be called, centres on the life of Isabel Almond before and after she met and married Percy Smith in Alice Springs in the shadows of the Second World War.

In March 2024, it was announced that that Finding Miss Almond had found a Director in Mark Webber (actor) and production would be coordinated by Live Heart Productions.^[3]

Mark Webber (actor) stated in an interview with FilmInk "Finding Miss Almond has the power to bring people together with all the ingredients to be a great film; love, conflict, passion, and war."^[4]
