The Byron Bay International Film Festival (BBFF) presents the NSW premiere of Meet the Wallers at the Lennox Head Cultural Centre on Friday 17 December 2021.
A film 20 years in the making, Meet the Wallers celebrates the lives, trials and loves of Lennox Head locals Mark and Nicole Waller.
"We are thrilled to be hosting this film festival for the first time at Lennox Head Cultural Centre and we're hoping it won't be the last. The centre really lends itself to film screenings and red carpet events like this, thanks to upgrades last year," said Roberta O'Brien, Coordinator Community Facilities.
BBFF director J'aimee Skippon-Volke said the festival's tagline, Shining Light in Darkness, reflects the intention to present a program that brings hope and strength to our community and filmmakers after two grim years.
"Meet the Wallers truly shines light, with a strong message of resilience, trust and hope – things we all need right now," said Ms Skippon-Volke.
"It is so special to host this event in the Wallers' home town where we can all cheer them on both on screen and in person on the night. It's going to be a fabulous evening," added Ms O'Brien.
