Road to Pride

2022 · 6 min · Animation

Mt Isa neighbours, Rex and Frankie, hit the road to Sydney's Mardi Gras to piece together the missing pieces of their lives before they lose all the colour in their lives and fade away forever. Both are searching for the impossible: Rex for his dead boyfriend and Frankie for her future self. As the landscape changes from vast outback to eucalypt woodland to shiny urban sprawl, their banged-up Corolla gets a flat tyre, the engine melts, and all seems lost when they swerve to avoid a feral pig. Only with the unexpected help of a Bikie and a Grey Nomad, do Rex and Frankie transform, find what they've lost, and celebrate with pride.
