1 The Well Louris Van de Geer , 2021 single work drama

'On a whim, middle-aged Hester brings the orphaned, adolescent Katherine into her home – it’s the start of a powerful friendship for both women. But when a sudden tragedy interrupts their seemingly idyllic outback life, it threatens to twist their unshakable bond to breaking point. A haunting thriller in the best traditions of Australian Gothic, The Well is a taut work of gnawing suspense as these two women navigate the emotional and psychological terrains of desire, memory and social isolation.'

'MOTHER, FATHER and CHILD live their lives the way lives are lived until one day CHILD lies down on his stomach like a starfish and refuses to get up. The parents call for help, which comes in the form of a room with a one-way mirror. On the other side of the mirror is VOICE, who instructs the family, via in-ear microphone, on how to exist.'

1 1 Triumph Louris Van de Geer , 2014 single work drama

'In the aftermath of a terrible tragedy, A Woman, ‘The Survivor’, emerges as a voice for those who suffered. We love her. We send her gifts and cards and roses. We watch her on the television.

'Two men sit in a car in a forest in the rain. It’s a shame about the rain because someone might catch a cold. But does it really matter now that they’ve made it to the forest?

'Then there’s A Young Girl with a long list of symptoms but no diagnosis and A Mother who’s taken vigil by her bedside with the television guide and a pen.

'Triumph traces the effect of trauma (real or imagined) and the reality of processing pain through the interwoven threads of three seemingly disparate stories.' (Publication summary)

1 Tuesday Louris Van de Geer , 2012 single work drama 'A suburban supermarket. You have been here before. In the car park, mothers are vying for parking spots behind the wheels of their spotless four-wheel drives. Inside, the trolleys are battered, their advertising faded and the last packet of cinnamon was just taken from its carefully alphabetised place in the spice section. "Tuesday" is an intricate satire of suburban banality and social alienation and waits in line for you at the shop. You get left alone. Alone. And you explode.'
