Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

uds3 Forget your Heineken, Bud and Carlsberg....this here is the REAL mccoy! Director Doust has a total winner here with his short documentary (more a docudrama actually) concerning an event which befell Australia (couldn't be anywhere else!) in April 2001.Just ahead of Easter that year - the greatest of tragedies! A truck loaded with 40,000 bottles of the frosty brew left the road and jack-knifed into the Tweed river just outside the northern (some might say "sleepy") NSW township of Murwillumbah.The environmentally-aware residents of "Murbah" (as it is locally known) were swift and decisive in implementing their own salvage ops. Lets just say it DIDN'T need a containment team!I saw this 7 minute epic at a local film festival last year and can vouch for the worth of each minute. Great stuff!Row row row your boat merrily down the stream (Hic!)

benny_joe This "comedy" short is just about one of the worst things I've ever seen! If you ever get to watch "Murbah Swamp Beer", don't bother. Go and read a book for 7 minutes instead...

gough Brooke Wilson and her eventual partner "Gary" Doust are to be congratulated for providing me with the most enjoyable seven minutes of my life as they peeled away the veneer of alcoholic dimwittedness to reveal the true Australian psyche in this remarkable and moving film. Exploding the surrealism of the underlying metaphor is what these two talented young film-makers are about, and how they managed it with half of the outback plastered over the plastic optics of a mini-DV camera would have defeated even Lars von Trier, from whom they surely must have taken inspiration. An absolute masterpiece and quite the best story of in-bred villagers retrieving things from a river that you're likely to see this year.

roscoe_a and I don't mean the bread.....I mean it was AWESOME!!!!! see it now or die! A very thorough and hilarious analysis of a freak accident involving large quantities of yummy beer. Congrats all round to the cast and crew of this wonderful production.
