Big Dreamers (PG)
Australia's comedic documentary Big Dreamers has returned from sold out screenings around the US festival circuit. Australia loves its ‘big’ roadside attractions: Coff’s Harbour has the ‘Big Banana’, Robertson its ‘Big Potato’ and Ballina a ‘Giant Prawn’. In 2003 the Queensland town of Tully decided it ‘wanted in’. In an effort to lift tourism - and the region’s spirits – Tully’s Rotary Club commissioned local artists to design and build a ‘Giant Gumboot’, to symbolize its claim of being “the wettest town in Australia”.
"It's a funny film about a very serious subject.”
(Camille Hardman, Director Big Dreamers)
