Victorian Premiere

After premiering at SXSW and touring major queer festivals across the northern hemisphere, Elena Oxman’s debut feature—a stark portrait of San Francisco’s rapid gentrification—comes to Melbourne. Nonbinary newcomer Cass (Asia Kate Dillon in a breakout role) struggles to get by nannying wealthy kids, waiting tables, and using party drugs just to cover rent. A one-night stand with coworker Kalli (Louisa Krause) sparks something real, but when Kalli disappears, leaving her 11-year-old daughter Ari (Ridley Asha Bateman) in Cass’s care, Cass’s fragile life begins to unravel.

“Asia Kate Dillon delivers a remarkable performance.” — Variety.

This feature will be preceded by the warmhearted Australian short, Found (DIR: Luka Otis Gracie).
