1 Australian Thriller The Stranger Puts Anxiety Centre Frame Alex Munt , 2022 single work review

— Review of The Stranger Tom Wright , 2022 single work film/TV

'When I teach budding screenwriters, I will often use the “show don’t tell” rule as a quick-fix for students trapped in the more familiar mode of literary storytelling. The Stranger, an accomplished Australian thriller, written and directed by Thomas M. Wright, abides closely to this adage with visceral storytelling using images and sounds, the material of cinema.' (Introduction)

1 2 form y separately published work icon LBF Cry Bloxsome , ( dir. Alex Munt ) Australia : Muntmedia , 2011 Z1933165 2011 single work film/TV 'Based on the cult novel by Cry Bloxsome, LBF (aka 'Living Between Fucks') follows Paris based writer Goodchild (Toby Schmitz) as he returns to Australia for the funeral of his ex-girlfriend, The Dead Girl (Gracie Otto) and steadily goes off the rails. He becomes entangled with The Beautiful Financial Backer (Bianca Chiminello), who commissions him to write The Love Enterprise - a piece of corporate branding masquerading as Beat poetry. Charged with this new task and a heady cocktail of booze and drugs, Goodchild interviews people he encounters along the way. Drugs, parties, love, sex, lust, sobriety, solitude, no-sex and death collide in this hyper real, pop-culture infused portrait of twenty-something Goodchild, as he drifts through his life, memories and rock n' roll. A classic tale of sex, nihilism and urban summer heat, with a great cast of emergent talent including Toby Schmitz, Bianca Chiminello and Gracie Otto, all driven by an all Australian indie soundtrack. Performing live songs are: Teenagers in Tokyo, Kids At Risk, Tennis and Fergus Brown. On the soundtrack are: The Model School, Operator Please and Boy & Bear. LBF is a 'pop-art' film about love, loss and desperation.' (Source: http://www.lbfthefilm.com/ )
