“I’ve had a passion for films since the age of five, and I was always drawn to stories that were meaningful and that affected me as a viewer,” says Streets of Colour writer/director Ronnie S. Riskalla. “As much as I got lost in Hollywood fantasy films, I always found solace in real-world stories. The reason I wanted to tell this specific story is because it has the potential to be a captivatingly truthful depiction of people in our society. It will provide a gripping look into a world that is familiar to many, but also the underground world that a lot of people would never experience – the world of Western Sydney.”
If this second teaser for the film is anything to go by, Streets of Colour looks to fuse mainstream urban thriller genre conventions with a Western Sydney story. Emerging local star Rahel Romahn plays a conflicted young man who must navigate a challenging terrain that includes violence and drugs on his way to redemption.
A world premiere has also been announced for the film, taking place at the glorious Hayden Orpheum cinema on June 26, tix can be found here.
