Broulee filmmaker Tessa Muskett has had her Coila-filmed short film Scammers chosen for screening at the Sydney Underground Festival in September.
Ms Muskett, 26, shot the three-and-a-half minute film at Coila Service Station, with the cooperation of proprietor Pete Ward, in one night last October.
Moruya’s Isabella Bussa, Batehaven’s Rielly Farquar and Canberra’s Morgan Heath Williams feature in the film.
Ms Muskett was delighted the film was chosen for the festival.
“It’s my favourite festival, because it has all the crazy films, and it’s quite popular,” she said.
She gave a brief synopsis of the film, the script for which she wrote over “a few months” last year: “A young girl struggles to sell cupcakes at a petrol station. She meets a young woman who seems to have it made, with the clothes and the car, but when this woman refuses to help the young girl in any way, she decides to up the ante on her money making schemes by taking a risk she never would have before.”
This is not the first time Ms Muskett’s work has been selected for this festival. Her short film Fatland, which ran for eight minutes, was selected in the Lovesick category at last year’s festival.
The festival will be held at The Factory Theatre in Marrickville over September 5 and 7.
Meanwhile, Ms Muskett is about to commence a Master Of Media Arts and Production course at the University of Technology, Sydney.
