Blacktown

Love can be difficult at the best of times, and the remarkable Blacktown is a disarmingly honest tale of love-against-the-odds. Office secretary Nikki (Nikki Owen) is disillusioned with her fraught, ‘sometime’ relationship with her married boyfriend, Peter. Emotionally scarred by the dysfunctional relationship, she all but gives up on the possibility of finding anything more meaningful. But in the wake of a torturous and disturbing blind date, Nikki meets Tony (Tony Ryan), a “black fella on a white bus”. Despite their obvious differences and Nikki’s disillusionment, the charismatic Tony shows Nikki that there is indeed room for love and romance in the desperate world of Blacktown. (Madman Entertainment)

Three Chords and a Wardrobe

Rachel and Nick are your model, contemporary relationship. They're young, hip, creative and independent. In the end, they can't escape the basic differences between men and women. In '90s psycho-babble jargon - women are from Venus and men are from Mars. And in this relationship, Mars needs guitars and a chart-topping hit song without any silly domestic interruptions. Venus needs consideration, understanding and a hand changing a light fitting in the kitchen. So when Nick goes in search of the perfect sound and Rachel has an axe to grind - the Gulf War is about to begin. They say all you need is three chords and a wardrobe and you've got the perfect song...relationships aren't so easy.

The Samoa Deal

Imagine being a young, upwardly mobile executive successfully making your way in the world. You’ve got a great job, some good friends and have been tasked by the boss to close a do-or-die deal. Now, imagine that closing the deal takes you to a country where you don’t speak the language, you don’t understand the culture and, if the deal falls through, it will cost you your career. Well, that’s exactly the situation Henry faces. Henry has never known family or loyalty. Now, he has to convince the Matai of a village that these are exactly the characteristics he and his company embody. Further, his growing attraction for Tua, the Matai’s daughter, is making him question if his career is really what’s most important to him. If he can’t balance all these competing interests, Henry may lose it all: his job, his career and, most importantly, his one true chance at love and acceptance.
