GARDEN OF LOVE
 

Garden of Love. 
A light-hearted comedy/drama about a matchmaking postie.

 
  Qpix is theQueensland Filmmaker's Development Centre in Brisbane. It is the very first Sunshine Coast production ever sponsored/funded by Qpix. Garden of Love is a A Qpix 
'Raw Nerve' initiative.

The short film is a light-hearted comedy/drama about a matchmaking postie who deliberatley delivers the right mail into the 'wrong' letterboxes in order to match up lonely people in her street. When she falls for a handsome man moving into one of the houses, she begins to pen her own anonymous love letters. She finally finds the courage to approach him at his home but there is a surprise waiting for her!

The script is written by local screenwriter Sonia Louise Armstrong 
whose feature film 'The Turner Affair' has been distributed 
internationally.

Director Peter Rogers is a veteran of over 30 years in the film industry with 32 feature credits to his name. Producer is Peter Hough, one of 
the emerging new talents on the project.

Around 90% of the cast and crew are Sunshine Coast locals which proves the number and depth of talent here on the Coast. 

Leading lady Louise Birgan is NIDA trained and her love interest in the film is played by another local James Peregrine Galbraith who has appeared in the UK television series 'The Bill' as well as the battle scene in Mel Gibson's 'Braveheart'.

Filmed in Flaxton in the beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland over 2 weekends in April this year, the film is due for release in August 2005.

Garden of Love will be entered into film festivals nationally and internationally and approaches will be made to QANTAS and SBS.
