Running With The Devil Movie Review and Competition!
Nic is The Cook, during his day job, a mild mannered chef and a pillar of the community, after hours, a stone cold criminal running drugs across the border. So far so good.

This sets up multiple storylines that dovetail as the film progresses.

Marriage Story Movie Review
Opening with the high of a verbal reading of lists of each other's best attributes, the film then rips that bandaid of contentment off with the very next scene.

Under My Eye, the new circus work from Bianca Mackail is coming to the Brisbane Powerhouse
She could stay confined in her visceral minefield of contradictions, deliberations and judgments, but she allows the box to crack open and exposes the honest shit storm of her ramblings and the joy and passion of her beautifully distorted chaos.
//
A fiercely vulnerable and extreme physical adventure into the unrelenting chitchat of the mind. Always searching for story, dissecting, criticising, categorising, judging and boxing them all up into distorted ideas and ...
