Label Distribution has released a new trailer for their offbeat comedy-romance WHAT IF IT WORKS? ahead of its Australian theatrical release on 12 October 2017. Already a darling of the festival circuit, the rest of the country gets to see what we’ve been excited about.
Written and directed by Romi Trower, and starring Anna Samson, Luke Ford and Brooke Satchwell, WHAT IF IT WORKS? is the story of a tech genius with OCD and an artist with dissociative identity disorder who find a way of getting through life together.
In our review of the film, we found that it while “it does brush up against the notion that love can conquer mental illness, it also never shies away from the genuine hard work that people in similar relationships have to put in on a daily basis. A fun and engaging first feature from an Australian filmmaker, one that worms its way into your gooey insides the longer you spend with it.”
Earlier this year, it won the inaugural Best Australian Indie Film Award at the Gold Coast Film Festival.
