Two Flat Whites recently viewed a wonderful little Aussie flick titled ‘ All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane (2007)’ . Anthea (Charlotte Gregg) is in her early twenties, single, hates her job & all her friends are leaving Brisbane. Should she follow the herd to Sydney or London? Is there anything worth staying for now that her best friend Michael finally has a girlfriend? This film tells a universal story about finding your place and yourself.

The leading lady Charlotte Gregg, who plays Anthea does a fantastic job portraying a young woman who has grown up in a close nit neighbourhood. She has a great job & good friends, the issue for Anthea is that all her friends have moved on with there lives either travelling or by getting married & Anthea faces the realization that she needs to make some life decisions that will move her out of her comfort zone.

The leading guy Matt Zeremes, who plays Anthea’s best friend Michael, has been hanging on to the fact that he loves Anthea more than just a friend. Situations come to a head through a drunken encounter & Michael is the typical nice guy in the film.

The supporting cast was very good, including Tyson (Ryan Johnson), Michael’s best mate & underbelly star Gyton Grantley, who plays Anthea’s boyfriend. The movie was well written by Stephen Vagg & many young Australians will certainly be able to relate to this movie. Special mention must also go to Director Louise Alston who brought the best out of the young cast. Grab yourself a copy & watch the flick!

Two Flat Whites loves it’s Australian flicks & is proud to continue it’s support of the Australian Film Industry. Over the coming months, we plan to give you, our readers, insights & film reviews of some of our best flicks over the last 30 years. We have some of the worlds best actors, directors & film makers, so why not show them off!

We thought we would start with one of our favourites, a movie that was released in 2006 with some wonderful acting & an unusual story line. Kenny (2006), which outlines a simple, undeniable truth of mankind, one which crosses culture, political and religious belief & that is – everybody poos!

The film is about the day to day existence of those who deal with the mess we’re all compelled by nature to make. Kenny follows the Melbourne based port-a-loo installer in mock documentary style, as he goes about his business, or rather, his clients do.

Kenny endures the complications of summer plumbing at music festivals, the larrikinism of the drag racing, and the disrespect of those who think he is below the excretion of his customer base, with unshakeable good grace, a self-deprecating sense of humour, and an ockerism for every occasion. His world is complicated by his needy co-workers, evereyday family dramas, and a trip to a sanitation conference in the United States that opens his eyes to the potential for career progression, friendship and a new love.

Shane Jacobson stars as Kenny, the guy that cleans up the poo. He comes across as a warm & considerate guy, always trying to help out. Shane’s acting is first rate & his support cast of Clayton Jacobson & Eve von Bibra are also very good. The screenplay was constructed & movie directed by Clayton Jacobson.
