MATES had its international premiere at Dublin International Film Festival ☘️ earlier this month and it was everything we could hope for. Big crowd, proper energy, and they absolutely loved the film! We met so many amazingly talented filmmakers and made friends for life.

It was the kind of festival that reminds you why you make film. The whole city was chockas for cinema, it was obsessed!… at the risk of a bit of hobnobbing, we were often pinching ourselves as we saw some of Ireland and the world’s biggest names all there for the love of film (and spice bags). I met Aiden Gillen which was fun (he had a film in our section), Paul Rudd collected the Volta and Im definitely guilty for fanboying over Colin Farrell when we saw him at the awards. It really was a special place.

A crazy experience and one we’ll never forget.

So proud of where this film’s gone and the places it’s taken us.

Sláinte mates 🍀 @dublinfilmfestival #diff2026

Our film MATES storms Dublin this month and we’re absolutely giddy about it. Dublin International Film Festival! Our beautiful chaos heads overseas.

We can’t wait to explain to our Irish fam why Michael Bevan’s 4 against the West Indies in 1996 was one of the finest knocks in Australian cricket history.

“How you livin life like that bro?”

Last ball. Four runs needed. One wicket left. The entire Caribbean already celebrating. Bevan smacks it straight down the ground to the boundary for victory.

That refusal to fold. That beautiful defiance. That’s the spirit of the team behind MATES and their wonderful work getting us to our international prem!

Love you all.

MATES is shipping off to the Dublin International Film Festival! 🇮🇪 Our first overseas film fest. It’s so humbling to see that our Irish fam understands what it truly means to be mates. It’s a really awesome festival with great programming. We’ll be playing February 26 so if you’re in Ireland or the British isles, make the trip and come catch a beer with us 🍻 @dublinfilmfestival #mates #matesfilm #diff #shortfilm

‘You’re gonna give us a tour right?’ Thank you @ausindefest! We recently enjoyed our fourth and final film festival in what turned out to be a four week tour of @matesfilm through October! Being able to take the film to Gympie, then Byron Bay, then Adelaide and finally Brisbane for AIFF was a real privilege. I’m so happy the film has touched so many. And the best part was definitely meeting all the passionate, brilliant film makers across the country, staying with them, and playing alongside their work. I’ll never forget the experience ❤️ @adlfilmfest @heartofgoldshortfilmfestival @byronbayfilmfestival
