This feature debut from the director of Wilfred is a dark comic tale of fame and its associated downsides.

Actor Darren McWarren (Jason Gann) starred in soaps, mini-series and films before destroying his career with a series of indiscretions. Now that McWarren is out of the industry and living in Gladdington, a small town in Western Victoria, he can do whatever he wants.

When magazine journalist Ben (Adam Zwar) decides to write a “Where Are They Now” profile on McWarren, he finds the former star has become the front man for a rock band and a modern-day Errol Flynn. The local girls want to bed him and their blokes want to fight him.

And between slipping into his past characters and regurgitating their lines, Darren can’t quite work out who the real Darren McWarren is.

Artfully wrought characters and an assured delivery from the cast give this subtle Australian comedy a serious cutting edge.
