Could Australian audiences who seem to be tiring of dark, home-grown dramas and thrillers spark to a musical comedy/romance about an Emo teenager who falls in love with a Christian girl?

It will be the feature debut for both. Matthews has produced 14 shorts and Triffett has directed numerous shorts and documentaries.
The Emo short has an impressive pedigree, having been nominated for best short at the Generation14 Plus section of this year.s Berlin Film Festival, where it got a special mention, and screened at more than 20 international festivals.
Screen Australia gave the producers a grant to finish the short and is now funding the development of the feature, which Triffett will write and direct as well as composing the songs.
