Australian Independent Feature Film LOVE SOCKS Wins Best Comedy Award at the Florida Movie Festival

Congratulations to the entire “LOVE SOCKS MOVIE” team!

Thank you to all LOVE SOCKS Cast, Crew, Supporters and Fans for your continuous support!

Thank you everybody from the Florida Movie Festival!

“Love Socks” represents the true spirit of independent filmmaking.

LOVE SOCKS MOVIE SYNOPSIS

LOVE SOCKS is a heart-warming story about love, family, friends and bodily function anomalies!

It’s a romantic comedy that follows the story of Frederica. As a child she is diagnosed with a phenomenon known as Raynaud’s, which in her case means she will sneeze forever. Frederica discovers her only respite from this affliction is to wear socks to provide warm to her extremely cold feet. The film exposes the heartaches that ensue when she loses her socks and how her insecurities affect and jeopardize her relationships.

Ultimately, LOVE SOCKS is about letting go of our fears, those inner voices holding us back from opportunities and embracing life and happiness.

The film stars a stellar Australian cast, including Michele Mattiuzzi (Home & Away), Shailla Quadra (Dealing With Destiny), Natalie Rose (The Makeover), Khanh Trieu (Fat Pizza), Olga Markovic (Deadly Woman), Amber Gokken (Gabriel), and many more!

Cinematography by Jack Kelly (Other World) and Marc Stimson (LARP), and a beautiful international soundtrack with some of the best voices from Australia & Brazil, including Snez, Sally Street, Daniel Fontes, Mano Tales, DJ Doido and many more!

LOVE SOCKS is the first feature film as a Writer-Producer-Director-Actress for the film creator Shailla Quadra.

LOVE SOCKS is partly based on true events.
