Red Hill

Sunday September 29th 8:00pm

Q&A with Producer Al Clark

Synopsis:

When a young police officer, Constable Shane Cooper (Kwanten), relocates to the small high-country town of 'Red Hill' with his pregnant wife (van der Bloom), he does so in the hope of starting a new family. But when news of a prison break in the city sends the local law enforcement officers into a panic, Shane's first day on duty quickly goes from bad to worse.

Notes:

Whilst this picture is set deeply in the Australian bush it owes a great deal to the classical form of the American Western and as such has a an edgy, layered feel for local audiences. Even its title rings with John Ford foreboding. Fantastic performances in a raw and very real setting give this film emotional power rarely seen in local productions. A very unusual and rarely seen movie from a very unusual young Australian director, Patrick Hughes.

Reviews:

"The movie is extremely well staged and the young hero's dramatic lineage is established by his resonant name " - The Guardian

"The film just about transcends its abundant clichs. It's Coen Brothers lite but made with some panache." - London Evening Standard

Beach breaks, barrels and closeouts.... roadtrippin' to the Northern Beaches and an epic morning surf film sesh flying sky high at Manly Beach. Special thanks to Sydney funk ensemble, The Regime, for the perfect music sync for my first ever short film.
