Milktooth.

Three Western Australian short films will screen at a special showcase this month at Rooftop Movies in Perth.

Milktooth, She Kinda Liked the Beach and Blunt will all screen as part of the showcase, which will include live music by local legend Jayda D’Agostino, accompanied by Josh Fairweather, and a special filmmaker Q&A afterwards.

Milktooth follows Jane Dearie, who is experiencing the most tragic days of her life. She longs for peace and space to grieve but finds neither in the company of Milktooth, the mischievous child who appeared when it all began.

The film is written and directed by Saskia Glass and stars Ashton Bolt, Milla Graham-Arho and Asha Vivian. It is produced by Jordyn Montague and Sharon Ware.

She Kinda Liked the Beach is written and directed by Kaleb McKenna and follows two distant sisters who reunite to scatter their mother’s ashes but can’t agree on what goodbye should look like. The film stars Megan Hollier and Kaitlin Okely and is produced by McKenna and Nathan Davey.

Archie Lush as The Aspiring Chef in Blunt.

Written by Luis Basnett and Archie Lush, and directed by Alex Power, Blunt asks the metaphorical question: when your knife turns blunt, do you sharpen it, or let it become a glorified butter knife at Dad’s company brunches?

This sharp short stars Archie Lush, Luis Basnett and Ashton Bolt. You can read out full feature article about Blunt here.

Guests are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the sunset with some top-notch eats and drinks. Live music will run from 6pm to 7pm. There will be a Q&A presented by Milktooth director Saskia Glass at the conclusion of the film screenings. Burritos with a Side of Nachos will be serving up banging bites from 6pm to 8pm, and the bar will be open until late.

You can find full details about the showcase here.
