Australian Film Festival
Randwick Ritz
Swerve opens the Australian Film Festival tonight at the wonderful Randwick Ritz cinema in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
The pitch...
A suitcase full of money, a woman, two men and a gun; a lot can happen in the middle of nowhere.
Driving cross-country to a job interview, Colin plays it safe when he has car problems and takes a short cut to a one horse town. But as luck would have it, he comes across a fatal road accident. One of the drivers, Jina, is shaken, the other dead and beside him, a briefcase full of money. When Colin resists temptation and does the right thing, turning it into the local cop, his good deed causes a series of fateful events to unfold.
Australian Film Festival VIP guests include:
Craig Lahiff (director); Roy Billing (actor); Robert Mammone (actor); Axle Whitehead (actor/singer); Ita Buttrose (Media Personality); Matilda Brown (director/actor); Casey Burgess (TV Personality) and Lauren Brant (TV Personality)
