GIRL TRASH: ALL NIGHT LONG

But her little sister Colby wants help to hook up with a hottie chick, and things unravel. Think band brawls, lust, catfights, a bus-load of stoned sorority girls, maybe some love and a whole lotta rock-n-roll.
ALL ABOUT E
E is a hot Sydney DJ who stumbles on a bag full of cash with her gay BFF Matt – cue on-the-lam road trip to the country and E’s old flame Trish.

LIFE PARTNERS
Sasha (Gossip Girl‘s Leighton Meester) Paige (Community‘s Gillian Jacobs) are besties destined to be platonic soul mates.
One hitch –Sasha is gay and doesn’t cope well when Paige finds a serious BF boyfriend (Adam Brody) Susanna Fogel’s film is an honest and witty portrait of the growing pains of lifelong female friendship.
BFFs

One slight hitch – they’re not a couple. A comedy featuring Australia’s very own Sigrid Thornton.
