THE FEATURE
SUBURBAN WILDLIFE
CAST: Maddy McWilliam, Hannah Lehmann, Priscilla Doueihy, Alex King
The London Australian Film Festival drew to a close with the European premiere of indie drama SUBURBAN WILDLIFE, with the closing gala screening followed by a Q&A with debut writer-director Imogen McCluskey.
Four friends must navigate new beginnings and impending adulthood in this bold and imaginative coming-of-age drama. Louise, Nina and Alice celebrate their recent graduation with hectic partying, alongside Kane, the only friend not to attend university.
But when Louise’s imminent departure for London causes tension within the group, they embark on a road trip to savour their final days together.
Produced for a miniscule $5000, but without scrimping on quality, SUBURBAN WILDLIFE is packed with raw honesty, dreamy flights of fancy, and outstanding performances from a young cast.
This ambitious indie is the debut feature of writer-director McCluskey, and we are delighted that she is able to join us after the screening for the Closing Gala Q&A.
"The dreamy malaise of a suburban adolescence comes to life in a new micro-budget Australian indie."
