The second release in our line highlighting up and coming unique Aussie filmmakers is Time Addicts!
Get intoxicated with the darkly comedic, sci-fi mind-melt TIME ADDICTS! Geek out with two best friends, Denise and Johnny, as they heist a bag of time-travelling crystal in this hilarious, far-out, fiend-filled, f**ked-up fairytale. This new Australian release marks our continued promise to promote the absolute best of local and independent filmmakers!
A drug-fuelled sci-fi romp hailed as “a trailblazing, time-warping debut” from writer and director Sam Odlum. Drug-dependent best-friends Denise and Johnny owe their unpredictable dealer. In a desperate attempt to clear their debt they agree to a dodgy heist in an old house, inadvertently coming into possession of a bag of time-travelling drugs. The pair find themselves trapped in the house on diverging timelines. As Johnny travels through time, Denise grapples with isolation, confronting her personal history, the true identity of their dealer Kane, and the very essence of her existence. Both hilarious and vulnerable, Time Addicts delivers an enjoyable twist on the sci-fi genre.
