Aus student film Friends of Mine premiering this weekend at ReelGood

Friends of Mine started life as Andréas Giannopoulos' graduating project at AFTRS, and is now an award-winning short film that you can watch this weekend.

The Australian Director’s Guild (ADG) award-winning short film Friends of Mine is set to have its hometown premiere at the 2023 ReelGood Film Festival, where it has been nominated for Best Short Film and Most Exciting On-Screen Talent for actress Chi Nguyen.

Shot on Super 16 film by cinematographer Ehran Edwards with support from Kodak, Friends of Mine ‘on paper … feels like a traditional love triangle scenario, but with Giannopoulos’ considered direction and explorative script, that groundwork allows for a deeper exploration of the emotional bonds that tie us together’ (Andrew F Peirce, The Curb).
