Lemonade Stand

"Lemonade Stand" is a quirky, crowd-pleasing, Australian comedy that won First Prize at Tropfest, the world's largest short film festival, in 2012.

The winner the previous year, "Animal Beatbox", was popular with its audience on the night but lacked narrative and characters.

With "Lemonade Stand" we have a strong narrative and interesting characters, underdogs whose humble lemonade stand is under threat.

Tropfest founder John Polson has often said that short films should really be seen as a springboard to something bigger. This film gives clear indication of what lies ahead in features for its writer, director and producer: engaging narrative, unusual characters and clever comedy.
