Short drama ‘The Bucks Party’ and ‘The Bubbleologist’, a five-minute documentary, are the two WA films selected to screen among the 14 finalists at the Bondi Short Film Festival on November 28.

‘The Bucks Party’ was written and directed by Mike Hoath and produced by Freya Brueschke. It uses the pre-wedding social ritual to explore the darker side of ‘bloke’ relationships. It is the second appearance at in a row Bondi for Mike Hoath. Last year his one-shot film ‘Dogs Run Loose Around Here’ was a powerful condemnation of ingrained racial prejudice in suburban Australia.
