Behind the scenes: Getting a little viral on set with Larry Van Duynhoven (prosthetic make up designer) and Martin Freeman (Andy). CARGO – in cinemas May 17, 2018. http://www.cargo.film  #CARGOfilm #thefutureisfragile #australianfilm #martinfreeman

Cargo opened this weekend, supported by boutique operation Umbrella. It is trapped inside Netflix around the world, but has a chance to fly here, supported by a bunch of good reviews. What was the duck that fell out of line? The money to promote the picture.
