The Coastal Surge Film Festival will premiere three Australian films shot entirely on the Central Coast in NSW with Central Coast locals for almost the entire cast and crew.

They include Kaye Harrison’s documentary, Music Central; Toni Houston and Sarah Beard’s documentary, Bouddi Wild Swim, and Amelia Foxton and Glenn Fraser’s comedic-horror film, Mother Tongue.

The films are each approximately 35 minutes in length – two documentaries and one narrative – and there will be live music by local musicians, red carpet photos, filmmaker Q&As and a mixer with the cast and crew following the films.

Festival entry tickets are $15 full price or $10 concession.
