It was scripted in two weeks and shot in two weeks! With no funds to speak of director James Bogle and his multi-talented conspirators have created a knock 'em down, drag 'em out romp of classically farcical proportions. Mad Bomber in Love is another example of the 'no budget' filmmaking that has surfaced over the last few years, and forms an interesting comparison to Come by Chance (also screening at the festival).

In this psychedelic horror soap, the central character Bernard is the embodiment of the psychotic complexities of shared living in the inner suburban world, and those who orbit around him are drawn into his decidedly weird spin. As character assessments go, the film's title says it all for Bernard, and he isn't going to let any of his erstwhile flatmate's survival instincts get m the way of his plans to 'clean up the world'.

Boasting a star-sprinkled cast of Australian film and T V actors (look out for the cameos!), the film heralds another highlight in truly independent production.
