Sunflower, an Australian coming of age film

‘Sunflower’ is an Australian film that tells the story of a teenage boy, Leo, growing up in the outer suburbs of Melbourne hanging out with his friends and kissing the prettiest girl in school, but something bubbles beneath the surface, his feelings for his best friend Boof, and introvert Tom, and when rumours at school circulate about his sexuality, his life begins to fall about. But when romance blossoms, will this grow into something more, or lead to hurt and rejection. 

It got its world premiere at the Sydney Film Festival in May and tickets are already sold out for the screening at the Melbourne International Film Festival, which must have writer/director Gabriel Carruba pretty chuffed.  

Gabriel joins Rach & Dean on JOY Breakfast as they find out all about this coming-of-age film.
