This is my Graduate Honours film for Swinburne University. I am seeking three young boys between the ages of 9-15 to star as the leading roles in the film.

SYNOPSIS
Max and his little brother are forced to go on a holiday with their parents to an old gold mining community. Max has an immediate aversion to his new surroundings, as he is completely removed from the technology-centric city life he was brought up in. Without anything remotely fun or interesting to do, Max prefers to keep to himself in seclusion to pass the time until he can finally return home. However, he and his brother happen to cross paths with a young local boy Billie, who teaches them how to have fun the good old fashioned way without the need for expensive technology or gadgets. The trio eventually find themselves entangled in a fast-paced, fool-hardy, puzzle-solving adventure when their fun and frolicking goes overboard, by chance leading them on a path towards a lost hidden secret...

All minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Max has been brought up around a technology-centric city life. He is taken completely out of his element when he is forced to holiday with his parents, and struggles to cope with the unfamiliar environment.

However, when it comes to the safety of his brother, Max will set aside his old ways and do whatever it takes to see that he is alright, even discovering a fun side to himself along the way.
