Xavier Samuel in The Death and Life of Otto Bloom: Picture by Suzy Wood.
The Melbourne International Film Festival has announced its opening night film and the energy from the MIFF hive mind says that this is one out of the box.
The picture is called The Death and Life of Otto Bloom, written and directed by Cris Jones. As producer Melanie Coombs says, ‘I am I excited and thrilled that MIFF in their infinite wisdom have selected it for the festival. It is a recognition that a low budget film from a first time director needs to cut through.’
