THE NIGHTINGALE (2019)
Starring Aisling Franciosi, Sam Claflin, Baykali Ganambarr, Damon Herriman, Harry Greenwood, Ewen Leslie, Charlie Shotwell, Michael Sheasby, Matthew Sunderland and Magnolia Maymuru. Directed by Jennifer Kent.

Set in 1825, Clare, a young Irish convict woman, chases a British officer through the rugged Tasmanian wilderness, bent on revenge for a terrible act of violence he committed against her family. On the way she enlists the services of an Aboriginal tracker named Billy, who is also marked by trauma from his own violence-filled past.

REVIEWS The Nightingale - A blunt and brutal period piece

DOWN UNDER (2016)
Starring Lincoln Younes, Damon Herriman, David Field, Rahel Romahn and Michael Denkha. Directed by Abe Forsythe.

A black comedy set during the aftermath of the Cronulla riots, 'Down Under' is the story of two carloads of hotheads from both sides of the fight destined to collide. Sincere, though misguided, intent gives way to farcical ineptitude as this hilarious yet poignant story of ignorance, fear and kebab-cravings unfolds, and what was meant to be a retaliation mission turns into something neither side could have imagined.

THE LITTLE DEATH (2014)
Starring Josh Lawson, Bojana Novakovic, Damon Herriman, Lisa McCune, Kim Gyngell, Lachy Hulme and Ben Lawson. Directed by Josh Lawson.

A darkly comic look at the perverse lives of “ordinary people”. It looks at what happens to a couple when a fetish drives them into dark, unexpected and hilarious places. A woman with a rape fantasy and a man’s struggle to please. A man who starts an affair with his own wife without her knowing anything about it. A woman trying to love a man who loves himself. A woman who can only find pleasure in the pain of her husband. A call centre operator caught in the middle of a dirty phone call. And the distractingly charming new neighbour who links them all together.
