6 Festivals will make its world debut at the Sydney Film Festival this Friday, 10 June, ahead of its premiere on Paramount+ later this year.
Written and directed by award-winning director and producer Macario de Souza (Bra Boys, Fighting Fear), aka recording artist Kid Mac, the film tells the story of three best friends as they bucket-list six music festivals over six months.
6 Festivals, the first locally commissioned feature film by Paramount+, will also rock a soundtrack featuring the hottest Australian music acts, some of whom will feature in cameo appearances (as themselves), including Dune Rats, G Flip, Bliss n Eso, B Wise, Peking Duk, Ruby Fields, Jerome Farah, Kobie Dee and more.
Daniel Monaghan, SVP content & programming is thrilled that this uniquely Australian story will be previewed on the big screen ahead of its global digital subscription video streaming service.
Monaghan said: “We are incredibly excited that Paramount+ can continue to showcase and champion such authentic and quintessential Australian stories.
“This relatable story set amongst our own vibrant live music scene will no doubt resonate with audiences for years to come,” he added.
6 Festivals is funded by Screen Australia, Screen Canberra and Screen Queensland, Create NSW and The Gold Coast City Council with support from Sony Music Australia and Paramount+.
6 Festivals will join a host of the world’s best entertainment currently streaming on Paramount+, including The Offer, The First Lady, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, HALO, Yellowjackets, 1883 and Super Pumped: The Battle For Uber, with Tokyo Vice, Evil (season three) and South Park: The Streaming Wars streaming soon.
