'THE BIRTHDAY TRIP'

A WEEKEND YOU'LL NEVER FORGET.

On to the comps - and wrapping up today is our giveaway to the new Aussie drama 'The Birthday Trip'. Three upwardly mobile millennial couples descend on a luxury farmstay to celebrate a joint thirtieth birthday. There's a weapons manufacturer, an ABC development coordinator, a finance bro, a painter... the full spectrum of the Aussie elite. Chaos ensues. Infidelity, inequality, inebriation. Simmering social dynamics captured with an immersive reality-TV camera, before the trip culminates in one of the biggest stunts in Aussie indie cinema history: a twenty-tonne bulldozer smashing clean through a house. Click here now to win one of five double passes to see 'The Birthday Trip' in cinemas - but be quick, as entries close tonight.

'THE MORTUARY ASSISTANT'

BURSTING ONTO SCREENS.

Also finishing up today is our giveaway for 'The Mortuary Assistant'. Newly certified mortician Rebecca Owens is hired to embalm the dead at River Fields Mortuary, working under her former teacher, Raymond Delver. After being called into work late at night alone, she begins to experience strange events around the Mortuary. While Rebecca must navigate demonic rituals and confront her deepest secrets alone through the night, Raymond reveals the dark truth about Rebecca's sudden employment.

'STONE CREEK KILLER'

A small-town police chief pursues a serial killer, helped by a psychic's visions, while fighting to prove his own innocence and facing his demons, both past and present. The film stars Clayne Crawford ('The Channel' & the 'Lethal Weapon' TV series), Lyndon Smith ('National Treasure: Edge of History'), Andrew J. West ('The Walking Dead') and Adam Hicks (Shifting Gears) and is directed by Robert Enriquez.

'THE BIRTHDAY TRIP'

QUITE THE TRIP.

Charlie sat down with 'The Birthday Trip' writer/director James Robert Woods and cast members Annelise Hall and Luke Jacobz for a rich, revealing conversation about the film. Why write characters this morally compromised? What does the film say about class, race and the state of modern relationships? And is conflict actually the secret to a healthy partnership? It's a fascinating discussion — and it ends with the cast revealing their ideal birthday destinations, which is considerably more wholesome than anything in the film.

REEL LOVE: NATALIE ERIKA JAMES

REEL LOVE.

The latest episode of our 'Reel Love' series is here! Connor sits down with 'Saccharine' writer/director Natalie Erika James to discuss the three films that have shaped her work — 'The Others', which she saw without parental supervision at eleven and has never forgotten; 'Trainspotting', for its surrealist imagery and embrace of life's absurdities; and 'My Summer of Love', a film she's certain is lodged deep in her brain and whose central relationship directly influenced 'Saccharine'. A beautifully personal conversation about emotional truth and the stories we're compelled to tell. Click here to watch the latest episode of 'Reel Love' now.
