ABOUT THE FILM
Written and directed by Cooma-raised filmmaker,James Litchfield, this sharp debut feature stars Tilda Cobham-Hervey (Apple Cider Vinegar) and Nicholas Denton (Dangerous Liaisons), Henry Nixon (The Pacific), and Bishanyia Vincent (The Twelve).
It tells the story of a couple who lose control of a joke about imaginary friends. Anna (Tilda Cobham-Hervey) and Jack (Nicholas Denton) have recently moved from the city to the country, and find the reality of their new situation failing to live up to their expectations. So, to keep themselves amused, they invent imaginary neighbours. But what began as a joke takes on a life of its own, and, when letters begin to arrive from their new friends, the “joke” slowly moves itself to the heart of their relationship.
Receiving its World Premiere at Melbourne International Film Festival, the quietly unhinged and oddly romantic film offers an inventive exploration of isolation and creativity.
“Litchfield's dark, well-paced film about an isolated pair’s imaginary friend, blends genres and emotional registers" - Luke Buckmaster, The Guardian
