Synopsis: Obnoxious love-rat, Chris has the foundations of his lie meticulously planned for his wife, Gemma to not suspect a thing. All he has to do now is grab a quick shower, wash the car and set off on his drive out of town to the romantic getaway location to meet his floozy.

Synopsis: How much barking does it take to drive someone mad? For George, it’s two days, seven hours and three minutes. If George ever wants to nap in peace, he must pick a bone with his awfully optimistic neighbour and her peppy pooch.
Desk Mates, Robert Fantozzi, Australia
Language: English
Cast: Michael Loder, Conor Woods, Michaela Pascoe, Guy Toledano
Synopsis: Meet Bob and Joe. Bob is a shameless lad with who lives in his own little world. Joe is a self conscious lad who thinks he lives in the real world. Together, they are the Desk Mates. The best of friends stuck working in a boring desk job.
When Bob gets paranoid about a potential crush he is texting calling him ‘man’, he and Joe start discussing their difference of opinion in how to approach the opposite sex. Bob speaking as a man on the prowl and Joe speaking as a man in a relationship.
The casual conversation does not stay casual, as their fiery opinions lead to an explosive argument. Which in turn leads to absolute chaos. Not only spirally wildly out of control, but tests relationships and friendships.
