There is already a built in demo for this and it starts with what you can read on the label: starring Academy Award winning (The King’s Speech) Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis and Charlotte Rampling. Enough said.

#15. The Eye of the Storm 
The Gist: In the Sydney suburb of Centennial Park, two nurses, a housekeeper and a solicitor attend to Elizabeth Hunter as her expatriate son and daughter convene at her deathbed. But in dying, as in living, Mrs Hunter remains a powerful force on those who surround her.
Based on the novel by Nobel Prize winner Patrick White, THE EYE OF THE STORM is a savage exploration of family relationships – and the sharp undercurrents of love and hate, comedy and tragedy, which define them.

Sales Agent: The Little Film Company
Selling Point/Suited For: There is already a built in demo for this and it starts with what you can read on the label: starring Academy Award winning (The King’s Speech) Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis and Charlotte Rampling. Enough said.
