🎬 POST-PREMIERE REVIEW | MISGIVINGS — A Homegrown Indie Masterpiece 🙌

Last night’s Avant-Premiere of Misgivings at Great Lakes Cinema Tuncurry, was extraordinary.

An amazing achievement. Congratulations and a big thank you to filmmaker, producer, and director Duncan James for creating this resonant film with our community. 🙌 Duncan's film is captured in the stunning Pacific Palms area in the Barrington Coast region. Misgivings is a true celebration of independent storytelling and regional creativity. From the haunting cinematography to the emotionally layered performances, this film is quirky and a quiet triumph, proving you don’t need a blockbuster budget to create something unforgettable!

This is just the beginning for Misgivings as it heads to the international festival circuit. Let’s keep supporting original, authentic storytelling from our own backyard.

It was wonderful to see, be part of so many local businesses, artists, and community members show up to support the team behind this soulful cinematic journey. 💛

“It’s not about spectacle — it’s about substance.”
This quote from Duncan James sums it up perfectly.

Grab your copy of the next Lifestyle Barrington Coast Issue 08 from early July at popular outlets or pop into the Barrington Coast Visitor Information Centre (4 Little Street, Forster) to read the story in our connecting community through storytelling section and the wonderful community, volunteers and people of our region who helped Duncan bring it to life.

🎬
🍷 Thanks also to Great Lakes Paddocks for the wine at the Premiere.

Huge congratulations again to Duncan and the team — and to rising star Mace Murray, who left us in awe.
