2019 – Summer Wonderland
A hilarious Christmas comedy about fake snow, fairy lights, and the great Australian Dream.
Life was supposed to work out differently for Foster Jones. Dreams of travelling the world were put on hold to support his overbearing and unemployed father, Bob.
But when a Christmas Lights Competition offers a hundred thousand dollar prize, the neighbourhood goes to war. Houses are decorated and displays are sabotaged. And while Bob battles the snobs across the road, Foster finds himself caught between betraying his family and escaping his father once and for all.
