Synopsis

A breathless live action cartoon for adults and twisted children. Playing Possum follows two colourful bush critters as they chase each other along and around the length of SH1, while battling over a choice piece of road kill. Possum won the Grand Prix at the L'etrange Film Festival. Creator Peter Salmon went on to direct the mobisode series MyStory, and episodes for Outrageous Fortune and Being Eve. In 2007 Salmon's dramatic short Fog was invited into International Critics’ Week at Cannes Film Festival 2007.
