Synopsis: Acclaimed director Alex Proyas (DARK CITY, THE CROW) puts his visionary spin on the story of an Australian garage band that is willing to do just about anything to make it to the top - or at least... Acclaimed director Alex Proyas (DARK CITY, THE CROW) puts his visionary spin on the story of an Australian garage band that is willing to do just about anything to make it to the top - or at least a stage. Through a comic chain of events involving blackmail and brute force, the band begins to realize that real life sometimes has even more stomach-turning drops and g-force than the rock 'n' roll roller coaster they've been waiting to get on. Following its 2002 Australian release, GARAGE DAYS received three nominations from the Australian Film Institute including Best Supporting Actress for Maya Stange (IN A SAVAGE LAND). Headlining the cast is an ensemble of Australia's most promising young talent including Kick Gurry (BUFFALO SOLDIERS, LOOKING FOR ALIBRANDI), who stars as Freddy, the charmingly naive lead singer of the band. The film reunites Gurry with Australian Film Institute Award-winning actress Pia Miranda (LOOKING FOR ALIBRANDI), who co-stars as the band's sassy bass player. Newcomers Chris Sadrinna and Brett Stiller round out the band's line-up. Maya Stange (IN A SAVAGE LAND) co-stars as Kate. Previous Australian Film Institute Award winners Russell Dykstra (SOFT FRUIT) and Andy Anderson ("Halifax f.p") join the cast as the band's well-meaning "manager", and a nostalgic rocker from the 70s. Yvette Duncan (PRAISE) and Marton Csokas (LORD OF THE RINGS) join the ensemble in supporting roles. GARAGE DAYS is a Mystery Clock Cinema Production co-financed by Fox Searchlight Pictures and the Australian Film Finance Corporation. Fox Searchlight will distribute the film worldwide. [More]
