Wake in Fright
John Grant is returning to Sydney after spending a year teaching at a one-classroom school in the Outback. Shortly after beginning his journey, he collides with a kangaroo and finds himself stranded in a small mining town while waiting for repairs to his car. With little else to do, he begins drinking beer and is drawn into a raucous, illegal game of two-up. After a brief, exhilarating winning streak, he loses everything, setting off a dangerous chain of events that leaves John a broken and desperate man.

Did you or a loved one work on Wake in Fright?
Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
