A world premiere has been announced for Friends, Foes & Fireworks, a fully improvised drama from inspiring Australian filmmakers Ivan Malekin and Sarah Jayne of Nexus Production Group.

Shot over the course of a single night in seven locations around St Kilda, Friends, Foes & Fireworks explores an intimate New Year’s Eve reunion of five female friends, which becomes a test of relationships when old tensions spark, truths are told, and rivalries are reignited.

Will the group make it through the night together or will their friendship fizzle out like an overzealous fireworks display?
