- Enter Hal's world of Sydney's Eastern Suburbs where 20 years of insane increases in property prices has realized a weirdly dichotomous socio-economic melting pot. Here, amidst the pristine beaches, parks and gullies of Bondi, Tama, Bronte, Clovelly, Coogee and Maroubra live the exceptionally rich yuppie newcomers, often nestled next door to the original "old school" low to middle class "tradie" community. The rivalry, tensions and humour that spring from the glaringly obvious differences between the haves and have nots only serves to increase the pressure of the life choices these young men and women have to make - choose the path in life that guarantees them a "place at the table", or follow your heart and chase your dreams. The audience will be bustled along a wild ride with our sleepy anti-hero Hal's final days of year 12, where the normally studious and responsible elder sibling of a one parent family has been granted the chance to finally let his hair down. Suddenly (and unexpectedly) Hal is also faced with the opportunity to chase his dreams by auditioning at the age of only 17 for the prestigious National Academy of Performing Arts. Overwhelmed, Hal initially chooses (out of fear of failure) to ignore the moment afforded to him and opt for the patently ridiculous option of partying all night. Along with his hilarious slacker besties and larrikin footy mates (and the surprise appearances of his two younger brothers exploring their own particular stages of adolescence), a night of teenage chaos ensues. By nights end, Hal has learned not only who he is, what he might achieve (with a little help from his friends) but learns to own what he truly wants - and the courage required to chase his dream. He might even get the girl.

It is a journey of discovery for both Peterson and Jubbal. Jubbal finds himself caught between black and white society, eventually dying following a curse placed on him during a traditional bone pointing ceremony. Peterson is left to try take the prisoner back to Melbourne alone, but cannot negotiate the pitfalls of the desert without the help of his prisoner. During the latter stages of his return, Peterson begins to understand the folly of his mission, releasing the Aboriginal man to return to his people.

- Whether you love shopping or hate it, whether your favourite shop is David Jones, the local bookshop, an open-air market or a hardware store, BORN TO SHOP will make you think about an ordinary activity in a new way. This film does not induce guilt! The excitement of the search, the satisfaction of the find and the thrill of the purchase. Shopping is the consuming passion of our times. It is no longer a necessity to shop. Shopping has become entertainment, a talent, a religion, a way of life. BORN TO SHOP examines why shopping has become one of the major leisure activities of the 1980s and 1990s. Why are we the 'born to shop' generation? We shop not because we need to, or we can afford to, but because we love it. It's retail therapy. It's experience of desire, of pleasure. In BORN TO SHOP, images of shopping are juxtaposed with the visual world of the child. From a psychological perspective, the shop is a space for play, where we connect to a world of images and imagination, where we are 'fed' and sustained. We experience the pleasure and delight of childhood memory, experience and fantasy. We respond to objects with our primary senses - the way a child does. BORN TO SHOP argues that while we are shopping, we discover objects that resonate with our inner desires. BORN TO SHOP places the internal psyche of the shopper within the historical context of retail and advertising strategy. Are we innocent victims of consumerism? Is the pleasure of the shop merely a response to sophisticated retail design? Do we discover things that express our individuality or are we just responding to a marketing strategy that anticipates our needs?
