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. The film was made by being fuelled only by pure passion for films, funded only by very long hours of continuous work, many amazingly talented people and the support of many big heart businesses that provided their stunningly beautiful locations all around Sydney to support the filmmakers to tell the love socks story.

WATCH “LOVE SOCKS” TRAILER:

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.

Scary film “Chloe” written & directed by Mark Paul, in which I played the title role of Dr Chloe, who confronts the supernatural and pays a very high price for it, premiered at the Fantastic Planet Film Festival!

The festival took place a couple of weeks ago in the pumping heart of Newtown, with all the selected films showing at the fantastic big screens of the Dendy Cinemas, with after parties at The Bank Hotel & Mary’s Bar, where all the local and international guest filmmakers got to hang out and got into deeper conversations about the filmmaking process over drinks and pizza.

Loving films & film festivals, specially when they bring the best from all around the globe and have so many Q&A sessions with guests International filmmakers, I attended not only the premiere of “Chloe”, but as many sessions as possible that I could fit into my current shooting schedule, and got to meet and talk with some very inspiring filmmakers.

Thanks once again for the organizers of the Fantastic Film Festival for making such a great event happen in Sydney!
