The film was awarded the Jury Prize, while Daniel Henshall won for Best Actor
Created and written by Elliot Vella, Gretel Vella and Timothy Walker, and directed by Christiaan Van Vuuren, this very Australian comedy is not your typical cliché Christmas movie.
Daniel Henshall and Toby Wallace are playing the leads in 'Acute Misfortune', a biopic of the acclaimed Australian painter Adam Cullen, who battled drugs and alcoholism and died in 2012, aged 46.
Foxtel is backing the screen adaptation of Paul Kelly's Christmas classic 'How to Make Gravy' as a recipe for Binge's entry into feature films, with the project to shoot on the Gold Coast and star Hugo Weaving and Daniel Henshall.
This year's AACTA Award for Best Film will be a contest between Baz Luhrmann’s 'Elvis', George Miller’s 'Three Thousand Years of Longing', Leah Purcell’s 'The Drover's Wife The Legend of Molly Johnson', Thomas M. Wright's 'The Stranger', Western Sydney anthology feature 'Here Out West', and Hannah Barlow and Kane Senes' horror 'Sissy'.
Owen Trevor's 'GO!', John Sheedy's 'H is for Happiness', Ben Lawrence's 'Hearts and Bones', Mirrah Foulkes' 'Judy & Punch' and Paul Ireland's 'Measure for Measure' will compete for Australia’s biggest film prize.
