Newcastle
17-year-old Jesse (Lachlan Buchanan) and his brothers live in the small port town and surfing hot-spot that is Newcastle. Rising surf star Jesse spends time chasing waves and girls, all the while living in the shadow of older brother Victor (Reshad Strik), who insists he compete and win at the towns annual surfing competition. Younger brother and emo teen Fergus (Xavier Samuel), in the meantime, has a major crush on Jesse's surf buddy Andy (Kirk Jenkins). When Jesse, Fergus and their beach bum friends go on a camping trip out on the dunes, confrontations arise and the youngsters are forced to come to terms with burgeoning emotions, life-changing decisions and a tragedy they didnt see coming.
A huge hit upon its release in Australia and subsequently on indie circuits in Japan and the USA, Newcastle now comes to the UK on a wave of acclaim. Featuring upcoming stars with a bright future ahead of them, music from established indie bands The Cloud Room and The Lemurs, and stunning cinematography from Richard Michalak, Newcastle is the perfect antidote should you be feeling that summer just wont come soon enough...
