Peach

Luscious fruit, truckies, and Lucy Lawless feature in this short film from writer/director Christine Parker. Sal (Tania Simon) is gifted a peach and meets a saucy tow truck driver (Lawless) on the way home to her toddler, and arguments with her boyfriend Mog (Joel Tobeck). Mog’s truckie mates arrive for beers, including the nameless driver, whose presence (and peach-eating advice) stirs up desire. “Watch it rot, or taste it when it’s ripe." A roster of local film talent worked with Parker on the film. In her role, Lawless hints at the cross-sexual appeal of her breakthrough role on Xena - Warrior Princess.
