The Illustrated Family Doctor
Gary Kelp is haunted by the recent memory of his father's death and is shocked by the discovery that the body has been "harvested" for organ transplants. In a bizarre twist of fate, Gary finds himself to be in need of a kidney donor and realises that good-health cannot be taken for granted. This dark and irreverent comedy about illness, work, death and a young man learning to survive it all looks at what holds us together when everything is falling apart. Stars Samuel Johnson, Jessica Napier, Colin Friels, and Sasha Horler.
"I see the film as a modern fable about self-belief and I think what I want audiences to take away with them is a sense of their own strength and a sense of control over their own destiny." Kriv Stenders
