Six Awards for Bad Behaviour

September 01, 2010 10:35

Australian film ‘Bad Behaviour’, which had its world premiere at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF) on Saturday night, scooped the accolades, winning six coveted awards.

The headline for MUFF’s Closing Night, 300 guests along with cast and crew packed into chilly Shed 4 at Docklands to watch the Joseph Sims Written and Directed black comedy/neo-noir film for the first time.

Inspired by Quentin Tarantino’s cult hit 'Pulp Fiction', the film walked away with six awards including Best Supporting Actress (Ellen Grimshaw), Best Supporting Actor (Roger Ward), Best Leading Actor (Lindsay Farris), Best Screenplay, Best Director (Joseph Sims) as well as Runner up Best Film.

Not bad for a low budget film reflects Sims, “It's exceeded all expectations from conception to completion and now to its premiere where it dominated the awards. It's just evolving into this juggernaut cult film. Audience reaction was incredible, so I could not be happier.”

Filmed on the Gold Coast, the movie sees two psychopathic siblings – Emma and Peterson played by Caroline Levien and Lindsay Farris respectively – make a pit stop on their road trip of bloodshed at the sleepy beachside town of Cecil Bay. The movie stars Australian film industry veterans John Jarratt ('Wolf Creek') and Roger Ward ('Mad Max').

Set to be released on the festival circuit with cinema release early 2011. For more information, visit www.badbehaviourmovie.com
