It was only just the other day when I was talking about the changes in the Australian film and TV landscape, with short films and webseries flourishing. The shorter formats have allowed for some fascinating and diverse stories to be told.
Which is why it’s exciting to see the web series Without a Tracey get its world premiere at the Mardi Gras Film Festival on February 19th 2020. To purchase tickets, head over to the purchase page here.
The plot is as follows:
When newly retired ex-cop Tracey Kimmel discovers the body of a teenage boy on her morning run, her razor sharp instincts tell her this was no accident. As she delves deeper into the case she uncovers a secret that threatens her family, her community, and her own life.
Written and directed by Alex Culliver and produced by Chelsea Thistlewait, Without a Tracey stars Tahnee Stroet, Thomas Filer, Caroline McQuade and more.
