A backyard experiment with a mind altering tea made from flowers results in a whole lot more than expected in Nic McRobbie’s new short film, Flowers.

“Flowers is a film born from necessity, based on experience and shot in my backyard,” McRobbie tells Cinema Australia.

“The result is five minutes of fun and a lifetime of never being able to look out my windows again.”

McRobbie is a WAAPA Acting Graduate, AFTRS Directing Graduate, writer and dual Australian/Canadian citizen.

A big fan of good stories and rollercoasters, Nic’s goal is to work on projects that offer audiences the best of both worlds… or scare the hell out of them.

Inspired by a mix of party tales, esoteric beliefs, hard learned lessons and produced with the challenge of doing as much in camera as possible, Flowers was written to be short and sharp with a focus on entertainment.

Flowers is written, directed and produced by McRobbie and stars Mia Fitzgerald, Alex Henderson and David Vikman.

You can watch Flowers below via the Fools Garden YouTube channel. Flowers features Fools Garden hit song, Lemon Tree.
