Debuting as the opening night film of last year’s Sydney Film Festival, it’s a story of strength and survival overseen by supervising director Beck Cole (Black Comedy). She also delivers one of the film’s most affecting sequences, Grog Shop, a big-hearted romantic comedy with a strong undercurrent that stars Clarence Ryan (Clever Man) as a guy with a crush on a bottle shop attendant (Megan Lilly Wilding) who has to contend with an overzealous cop.
