Mate (2021)

After a long time apart, local deadbeat John must take care of reserved schoolboy Jack over a weekend in an insular working-class outpost of Western Sydney. However, Jack's attempt to re-establish their relationship is threatened as John's self-destructive nature emerges. Mate is an uncompromising examination of masculinity, maturity and explores the challenges of personal growth within a changing social landscape and features star making performances Joshua Brennan and Jeremy Blewitt.
