CGiii Comment

A fairly decent collection...with 2 standouts!


Burning Soul

Australia, June 1727, a ship from the Dutch East India Company wrecked on the hostile coast. Pieter and Hendrick are friends like brothers—they grew up together, sailed together, survived together. But when Hendrick discovers the true nature of Pieter’s heart, the two men are taken in a storm where friendship and faith collapse.

Director: Cédric Desenfants

Miles

Lifelong friends Edward, Michael and Ashley are involved in a love triangle but not all of them are aware of it. Embarking on a road trip, they start the process of untangling their feelings for one another.

Director: Christopher Sampson

Infidels

An apartment at night. Three men cross paths, engaging in a dance of desire where words left unspoken bubble to the surface.

Director: Luke Marsden

Eric

T​ucked away in a forgotten and isolated motel, a “lad” meets a returning soldier coping with post-traumatic stress disorder. The brief encounter is a soft collision of two characters both lost and trying to find themselves within each other.

Director: Andrew Lee

What Grown Ups Know

Teenage boy Roy and his ailing mother Elizabeth live an aimless life on the road, shuttling between gas stations, temp jobs and cheap motels. When they end up at a desolate caravan park, fractures begin to appear in Roy’s relationship with his mother as he starts to fall head over heels for park manager Maurice.

Director: Jonathan Wald

All Good Things

Levi and his partner Isaac embark on a road-trip together before they break up. Along the way, Isaac realises he isn’t prepared for his first romance to end.
