About the Soufflé (2026)
When Connor is unexpectedly told he needs to find another place to stay, he's thrust into the streets of Darwin with no safety net. A chance encounter with a local band of creatives leads him on a journey of growth and self-discovery as he battles to overcome personal traumas. Set against the unique backdrop of Australia's Top End, this experimental independent feature is both an intimate character study and a heartfelt love letter to Darwin - the city that inspired the filmmakers who call it home.
