1 4 form y separately published work icon Swinging Safari Flammable Children Stephan Elliott , ( dir. Stephan Elliott ) Australia : Wildheart Films Pty Ltd , 2018 9317714 2018 single work film/TV

'Australia, 1975. The beach suburb of Dee Why is a place that revolves around surf mats, baby oil, boxed wine and the new miracle of Kentucky Fried Chicken. 14 year-old Jeff tries to find his feet in a world changing faster than his hormones, and deal with his crush on shy and sensitive girl-next-door Melly. When the beach town suddenly hits the spotlight after the body of a 200-ton whale is washed ashore, Jeff and Melly think it's the biggest thing that ever happened in their lives. Meanwhile, their eccentric parents are catching up with the sexual revolution that has also washed up on Australia's beaches. And just like the decaying whale, it's all about to go spectacularly wrong.' (Production summary)
1 29 form y separately published work icon A Few Best Men Dean Craig , ( dir. Stephan Elliott ) Australia : Arclight Films , 2012 Z1773569 2012 single work film/TV humour 'English lad David (Xavier Samuel) is getting married and his hapless best mates, Tom (Kris Marshall), Graham (Kevin Bishops) and Luke (Tim Draxl), are about to give a whole new meaning to the phrase "for better or worse"

'As an orphan, David wants nothing more than a family of his own. When he falls in love with Australian Mia (Laura Brent), it seems his new life is about to begin. What can go wrong - you know - apart from accidentally collecting kilos of cocaine and abducting the father-of-the-bride's prize Merino sheep?

'David and Mia's wedding is one chaos-filled day that will test their new marriage, challenge his relationships with his three best men, and risk turning what should be the best day of their lives into the worst. Set in the rugged Blue Mountains of Australia, A Few Best Men is a hilarious culture clash between his friends and her family because blood is thicker than water, and so are David's mates.'
