Naoero's first short feature film Far End of the Sea, which premiered on Friday May 15, has been officially released online.
The producers are appealing to the world to join with them to celebrate this historic moment.
The film was created by Pleasant Island Productions and features 58 Nauruan cast and crew. It was filmed entirely in the country across seven locations.
The film tells the fictional story of Scottish sailor Hamish MacKay's shipwreck and captivity on the island in the 1800s.
Melbourne-based actor Jamie Coffa, whose previous credits include The Legend of Ben Hall and the TV miniseries Gallipoli, starred alongside Naoero's Cramer Cain.
Supporting roles were played by Australia's Sophie McAsey and local acting debutants Redrose Tamakin and Brav Dowabobo.
Coffa, who produced the film alongside Cain and Nauruan Yannick Detsiogo, said he wrote the script after spending his formative years growing up in Naoero.
Naoero's President David Adeang said the production was a proud moment for the nation and shows that anything is possible with determination and resilience.
He said many people in the world do not know much about the country's culture or history, and while this is a fictional story, the brotherhood, compassion and national pride at the core of the story is an accurate portrayal of the people of Naoero.
The President said he hoped the film would inspire other smaller nations, as few would expect a film of this quality and depth to be made in Naoero.
