I Met A Girl will follow the story of an impulsive musician (Thwaites) who is struggling with schizophrenia. He will meet a mysterious woman (Sullivan), who he will fall for but she might just be an imagination in his head. When the woman suddenly vanishes, he takes off on a cross-country journey across Australia to find her, forcing his long-suffering brother (Jackson) to try to rescue him.
Written by Glen Dolman, the film will be produce by Adam Dolman through his Monsoon Pictures banner along with Melissa Kelly and Ryan Hodgson of Factor 30 Films. Thwaites and Eve will also serve as executive producers along with Roger Savage, James Norrie and Bob Portal of AMP International. The film will be co-funded by Screen Australia and Screenwest.

We’re both thrilled to be working again with director, Luke Eve, whose passion and vision for this project is infectious.”
