NICHOLAS CLIFFORD WINS LAST TROPFEST IN THE DOMAIN

Posted in Blog on Sunday 17.02.13

Tropfest is excited to announce that Nicholas Clifford has won the coveted ‘fruit trophy’ as the winner of Tropfest Australia 2013. We’ve All Been There was chosen by a distinguished panel made up of actors Sam Worthington, Richard Roxburgh, Magda Szubanski, Rebecca Gibney and Gyton Grantley as well as Alethea Jones (Tropfest winner 2012), film critic Sandy George and Wayne Blair (director of The Sapphires).

‘We’ve All Been There’ explored the idea of shared kindness through goodwill and pay-it-forward style ethics. A young woman in need gets a dose of kindness from someone who experienced it herself. Lead actress Laura Wheelright won Best Actress for her role as the struggling pregnant girl in We’ve All Been There, making it quite a big night for the film all up!

Tropfest has also released the Tropfest Signature Item for its 22nd competition: “Change.”

As well as being the required item for all filmmakers to include in their entries, the new TSI in part reflects some ground-breaking festival announcements that were made by its Director, John Polson, live from the Tropfest stage.
