'Psychoanalysis', written and directed by Aftrs grad James Raue.
Aftrs is getting into the feature game, with two micro-budget features set to be directed by Masters of Screen Arts directing students.
Kyle Hedrick.s Into The Waves is a drama about two brothers who hitch-hike across Tasmania to get to their mother.s funeral, while Tom Wilson.s The Greenhouse is described as "a queer magic realist drama that documents the tale of Beth Tweedy-Bell, who has discovered a tunnel into the past."
Both features are crowd funding via the Australian Cultural Fund. ..
For Rowan Woods, director of The Boys and Aftrs' Head of Directing, it's about going beyond the short-as-calling-card.
"From web-series to TV pilots, micro features, Vr and interactive storytelling, aimed at production companies, networks, film distributors and the internet fan base," said Woods, Aftrs is looking for "screen stories that make a difference."

Star Geraldine Hakewill on set.
In 2010, filmmaker Tony Prescott studied directing at Aftrs, where "the education was based on making a feature, but we made short films"..
"I don't think I'm very good at making short films", Prescott told If.
In 2011 he started developing an idea for a feature that he developed over five years - and forty drafts - with fellow Aftrs student James Raue (whose own first film, Psychoanalysis, is currently touring festivals).
The Pretend One is about a young woman (Wanted's Geraldine Hakewill) and her imaginary friend (Michael Whalley).
Their relationship becomes complicated when a suitor comes to town and Whalley's character becomes jealous.
Talking to people about the kind of Australian film he wanted to make, Prescott "struggled to find a reference".
"One of the closest I could think of was Paperback Romance. [Generally] We don't do magic and we don't do romance".

For first-time writer-director James Raue, regular trips to therapy growing up constituted a form of torture.
"I used to hate psychologists as a child. I always use to visit them because my mum was obsessed with Dr. Phil, so if there were any issues in the family we'd all go and see a psychologist. It always felt as though they were too distant and too clinical"..
"Now my girlfriend is a psychologist and my best friend is a psychologist. I ended up seeing things from their point of view - the weight of all these clients they were carrying around all the time, and the dark sense of humour they had to develop. They had to be able to joke about suicide and mental illness because it was the only way to survive"..

Mike Goldman is best known for his continuing role in the Big Brother Australia series since it began more than a decade ago.
However, the 39 year-old Goldman is aiming to transcend the common typecasting of reality television hosts through his starring role as a fictional version of himself in the feature film, Shooting Goldman, due for release in 2013.
"This is completely out of character for me," Goldman said of his his role in the film. His inspiration was "to make a movie where people aren.t sure whether I.m being myself".
Shooting Goldman is a psychological-thriller based on a reality television host whose career and life has been fabricated to an extent.
Goldman.s satirical representation of the reality television genre which is primarily responsible for his recent fame reflects his feeling that "people are just going to pigeon hole me" if he does not challenge the perception of his identity.
