A Song of Good

Gary Cradle (Gareth Reeves) wants to go straight, but has to face up to a drug habit, family dysfunction and the burden of guilt over a past sin. This redemptive recovery yarn from writer/director Kingi Rummler (then known as Gregory King) debuted at the Rotterdam Film Festival. Rummler's second feature, the film won Qantas Film and TV awards for the best picture made for under $1 million, and for Ginny Loane's camerawork. Reeves and Ian Mune (playing a far-from-supportive father) were also nominated for awards. The film won media attention when it was made available to watch free online for 24 hours in February 2009.
