changing this handle to my director musings - please follow @LondonAustFilm for all the latest news for the Australian Film Society & Festival news under one banner - and thank you for all your support lovely peeps!
I was lucky enough to see a preview of #Ellisparkmovie and it's a really interesting insight into someone I've long admired.
The soundscape & stunning scenery mean it should be seen on a big screen, so do yourselves a favour and book a ticket today! @riocinema @CentralPictureH
Today! David Wenham will be at @FinsburyParkPH to talk about his hilarious new film, SPIT, & we’ll be screening the first film GETTIN’ SQUARE too at 5pm.
Don’t miss your chance to be in the same room as the star of Fake, Lord of the Rings & 300
