In a single afternoon a man comes to grips with the power of his past when his estranged family becomes entangled in its web.
Watch the Sunset was shot on location in the country town of Kerang, Victoria. The cast and crew were able to utilise the entire town of Kerang as the set for the film, where the action follows through eight different locations in this beautiful regional town. Using actors amongst a real community to bring true sincerity, honesty and immersion into identifiable Aussie backdrop.
The story centers on Danny Biaro, an outlaw bikie member, who wants to change his ways and start a new life with his estranged family. But his past quickly catches up to him and he is compelled to make a decision that will affect his life forever. The journey follows him rushing against the clock to save his family.
Watch the Sunset has an underlying theme about effects of Crystal Meth or Ice, which is a very real contemporary Australian issue. The one shot concept of the film allows the viewers to observe the harsh reality of this regional problem on an intimate and raw level. But at the core of this film we find a story of love and an unrelenting quest for redemption.
To raise the money to bring their film to a global audience, the filmmakers are running a crowdfunding campaign. More info at australianculturalfund.org.au/projects/watch-the-sunset
