In a single afternoon a man comes to grips with the power of his past when his estranged family becomes entangled in its web.
“Watch the Sunset” was shot on location in the country town of Kerang, Victoria, in Australia. The cast and crew were able to utilize the entire town of Kerang as their set for the film, where the action follows through 8 different locations in this beautiful regional town. Using actors amongst a real community to bring true sincerity, honesty and immersion into identifiable Aussie backdrop.
The story centers on Danny Biaro, an outlaw bikie member, who wants to change his ways and start a new life with his estranged family. But his past quickly catches up to him and he is compelled to make a decision that will affect his life forever. The journey follows him rushing against the clock to save his family.
“Watch the Sunset” has an underlying theme about effects of Crystal Meth or Ice, which is very real contemporary Australian issue. The one shot concept of the film allows the viewers to observe the harsh reality of this regional problem on an intimate and raw level. But at the core of this film, we find a story of love and an unrelenting quest for redemption.
The powerful crime drama, akin to “Animal Kingdom,” comes from Victorian filmmakers Tristan Barr and Michael Gosden and is set across a single afternoon where a a man comes to grips with the power of his past when his estranged family becomes entangled in its web.
The film will be released across the globe later this year/early 2017 – at present the filmmakers are hosting a crowdfunding campaign to help with the expenses needed to get the film on an international stage.
