HOW TO MAKE GRAVY - Gold Coast

AACTA is thrilled to invite you and a guest to an exclusive screening of HOW TO MAKE GRAVY, BINGE's first original feature film, inspired by Paul Kelly's iconic Aussie song and proudly made in Queensland, on the stunning Gold Coast.

Walk the red carpet, enjoy a complimentary pre-reception, and be among the first in the world to experience this highly anticipated Australian film.

The film stars Daniel Henshall, Hugo Weaving, Brenton Thwaites, Agathe Rousselle, Damon Herriman and Kate Mulvany and is adapted by Meg Washington and Nick Waterman and directed by Nick Waterman. Following the premiere, join us for an exclusive conversation with the filmmakers.

It’s the 21st of December. Stuck in prison serving an 18-month sentence, Joe Morris is on the edge. He can’t seem to avoid clashing with the other inmates, and now his release date is on the line as he risks losing the family he so desperately wishes to return to. More than ever, he needs to keep his head down and stay out of trouble. Joe is thrown a lifeline when he meets Noel, a veteran lifer who leads the prison kitchen. The fraternity he finds in the kitchen nourishes Joe into a new understanding of the events which put him behind bars.
