THIS KISS
Directed by Kylie Eddy

Two former friends attempt reconciliation just before their ten-year high school reunion.

In a long, boozy afternoon played out against a sun-drenched Australian landscape, they reveal their doubts and imperfections, share laughter and tears and finally confront an incident from the past that has haunted them both.

“Director Kylie Eddy captures the intensity of the interior landscapes as they unfold with the same simplicity she employs to the exterior landscapes of this rural Australian town. THIS KISS sweetly illustrates just how priceless those friends are who knew you before you bought your baggage – since they are probably the ones who helped you pick it out. The film’s score adds a lilting levity to the narrative, distinctive, memorable melodies tugging at the audience’s heartstrings as the story unravels."
Jennifer Jordan Day, OUTFEST

"(A) savvy and subtle high-school confidential for adults!
A knife-edged script! Utterly convincing performances!
A sublime portrait about... the importance of courage and honesty in friendship."
