Summary |
*Adult Themes, Coarse Language, Drug Use, Violence, Content that may concern some viewers*Part observational documentary, part event TV, Dead Drunk: A Night In The Cross responds to current concerns about Australia's drinking and party culture and the propensity of young men and, increasingly, women for violence.Focusing on the country's ultimate party strip for an intense 12 hours, the film follows key characters as they party hell for leather in Kings Cross one Saturday night - cramming it all in before new lockout laws end their fun slightly earlier.Leading figures and commentators will also be thrown into the Kings Cross mosh pit on the night, each giving their expert views on the way we drink and the alcohol-fuelled violence that so often follows.Dead Drunk: A Night In The Cross will be shot on a single Saturday/Sunday. Footage from half a dozen camera crews, the mobile phones of characters and fixed street cameras will bring to life the stories of key participants in the Kings Cross carnival over one night. It will be edited over the following nine days, and aired the following week.This film will provide a very current snapshot of the Cross as the new lockout laws are implemented and bemoaned, endorsed and vilified, supported and disobeyed.PRODUCTION DETAILS:1 x 60 minutes. Directed by Marc Radomsky. Executive produced by Alan Erson. ABC Commissioning Editor Matt Scully. Essential Media Entertainment Pty Ltd |
