LBF

Goodchild, a young writer, lands back home in Sydney direct from Paris, to attend his ex-girlfriend's funeral 'The Dead Girl'. At the airport he is sped away to a motel party by his best friend 'Cash' where he encounters 'The Beautiful Financial Backer', who works in advertising. At the wake, she commissions Goodchild to write 'The Love Enterprise' for her agency. A relationship develops. Soon, his past and present collide and Goodchild is cast on an existential journey through the hot Australian summer. Haunted by the twin ghosts of love and death Goodchild is pushed to his limit and to the edge of everything else.

Directed by Alex Munt, LBF leans on a strong ensemble — Bianca Roe, Toby Schmitz, Septimus Caton — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2011.
