Australian director Dominic Pelosi’s feature film debut The Big Noise has been selected in 11 international film festivals since the film’s completion in August 2012.

''…clockwork orange meets trainspotting… – 4.5 stars''- Rod Beaudoin, Executive Director, Beloit International Film Festival.
The Big Noise follows Morris Falzon who works with his father George in a small law firm in the Inner Western Suburbs of Sydney. With his personal life a mess and the business falling apart, Morris is thrown a lifeline when a dying client reveals he is leaving Morris a small fortune in his will. It seems his luck is about to change. However, when his client stages a miraculous recovery, it seems it’s back to the grindstone…or is it? Morris and George hatch a plan that will either make or break them – literally.
The Big Noise features a cast of largely unknown, and many new, actors including Maurice Marshan as Morris Falzon, Mario Marchioni as George Falzon and William Tinkler as Julian Fuller. The film has won a number of awards including Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay at the Massachusetts Film Festival, and the Nevada International Film Festival’s Silver Screen Award.
