PPS, Girls & Grass invite you to a closed screening of PPS members Leila and Sean McDougall’s feature film ‘Just a Farmer’.

The evening is open to all PPS members and friends to enjoy supper prior to viewing the film.  Entry includes finger food. Drinks will be available at cost from the bar.  Leila and Sean will join us for the evening and will be available to answer your questions after the showing of the film.

‘Just a Farmer’ is the result of an idea fostered and produced Leila and Sean. This is a full-length movie about a newly widowed mother who is left with the care of an alcoholic father-in-law and a failing farm. She is forced to forge a new path for her family, all the while struggling to pick up the pieces of her life. The movie was filmed in and around Tatyoon with quite a few locals involved. The main stars of the film are: - Joel Jackson as Alex, leading man and loving partner of Alison. Leila McDougall in her first acting role is Alison. Damian Walshe-Howling is in the role of Ollie, with Robert Taylor, starring as Alex’s father Owen.

Executive Producer, David Gregory OAM has this to say about the film – “Just a Farmer is an incredible movie that authentically explores the impact of farmer suicide and the resilience of those left behind, is perhaps the best project I have had the opportunity to be involved with. Leila McDougall and her husband Sean have created a masterpiece that will have an impact and make a difference. Australian cinematic history will record this movie as one that truly reflected Australian farmers and explored an issue that must be addresses. I am so honoured to be involved as an Executive producer and will forever be grateful that Leila and the extraordinary team at Just a Farmer have allowed me to be involved”.

Leila has warned us to bring the tissues, but not to worry there is plenty of laughs as well.
