Shot for a paltry $4,000, SUBURBAN WILDLIFE, the debut feature film from director Imogen McCluskey is a micro budget movie about a microcosm of Millenials as they emerge from post pubescent to post graduate and maturation in the big, wide world.

SUBURBAN WILDLIFE is a shoe-string coming-of-age film set in Sydney’s outer suburbs, and explores the struggles of friendship, love, sexuality and independence faced by young adults. The dreams, desires and disappointments of the characters play out against quiet quarter acres, arid suburbia, and the Australian bush.

The film stars an ensemble of emerging Australian talent, including Priscilla Doueihy as Alice, the seemingly confident and active hetero normative and Hannah Lehmann, one of the ensemble in the cracker comedy, Hot Mess, earlier this year.

In SUBURBAN WILDLIFE she plays the level headed conservative of the female trio, who they nickname “Mum”.

The third of the trio, Nina, portrayed by Maddy McWilliam, is exploring her sexuality in her own way, fantasy and reality fusing, the real merging with the surreal.

Alex King as Kane the only boy in the group gives a concentrated and concerned introspection to the role.

Beautifully shot by Lucca Barone-Peters who was cinematographer on the controversial short, Mukbang, with bush land sequences that belie its low budget, SUBURBAN WILDLIFE is an impressive calling card for all its cast and crew.

It may have been made on the smell of an oily rag but SUBURBAN WILDLIFE comes up smelling like roses.

The US company Gravitas will release the film on digital platforms, including iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, Google play, YouTube and many more.
