Happy Sad Man is a charming and uplifting insight into the lives of five very different Australian men.

Outdated Children AUSTRALIAN FILM PREMIERE : $15
(Sat 7.30 – 9pm. Q&A with Mick Waters + featured surfer Glen Casey followed by film)
A new film by Australian filmmaker Mick Waters.
Mick’s movie is titled after the Dr.Suess quote, “Adults are just outdated children”.
A Wayne Lynch voiceover opens the film. The secret to getting older, says Wayne who cops to being very old these days, is keeping that childlike appreciation of the world without becoming childish in the way you do it. Three years ago Mick packed his family up into a caravan and took off around the southern coasts of Australia.
The movie, in essence, is a string of short vignettes about the menagerie of characters he meets along the way. When you drive along the bottom of the Australian coast you’re going to meet some interesting cats.
The surfers include Wayne Lynch, Glen Casey,Dustin Hollick, Marti Paradisis, Sandy Ryan, Mick Fanning, Jeff ‘Camel’ Goulden, Heath Joske, Paul Joske and AddyJones.
