Set over a Christmas beach holiday in 1935, The End of the Golden Weather chronicles the friendship between a teenage boy and the wild-limbed Firpo (Stephen Papps), dreamer and social outcast. Writer/director Ian Mune spent more than 15 years "massaging" Bruce Mason's legendary solo play into a movie, before assembling a dream team to bring it to the screen. The finished film captures the world view of a boy for whom fantasy, hope and disappointment intermingle. Among an impressive haul of awards, 12-year-old star Stephen Fulford was recognised at America's Youth in Film Awards.
