Rebound

Directed by Davina May Marr, Jessica Robinson and Mitchell Marion

With Davina May Marr, Douglas Ballard, Georgie Pilling, Charlotte Stent and Stephen Walker

Set during a sun-soaked Australian Christmas, Rebound follows Dee, a woman in her late thirties exhausted by disastrous dating apps and terrible setups. Determined to find "the one" before the holidays end, she endures a series of absurd, slapstick-filled dates alongside her loyal best friends, Doug and Max. While the film plays out like a classic holiday rom-com—leading audiences to assume Dee will either find a boyfriend or fall for Doug—its central twist subverts those expectations. Amid the holiday chaos, Dee realizes her true romantic connection has been right in front of her all along with her female best friend, Max. Blending physical comedy with a quietly subversive queer heart, the story explores friendship, perception, and discovering love where you least expect it.
