SYNOPSIS

Kath has been looking for love in all the wrong places. Then, she finds herself in Chinatown. In the middle of a less than successful blind date, she overhears the soulful Cantonese singing of kitchen-hand, Ah Gong. Kath is intrigued. But is there more to Ah Gong than meets the eye? CELESTIAL AVENUE is an offbeat tale - part karaoke video, part cross-cultural comedy - about love, personal reinvention and startled pigeon. Celestial Avenue marks our second collaborative effort with writer & director team Colin and Cameron Cairnes, ( who have been working with us on THE LAST ANDY) and our fourth collaboration with DOP John Brawley. Celestial Avenue was funded by Screen Australia and stars Catherine Moore, Angus Sampson and Jason Gaan. The film was shot on the SI 2k digital camera over six days in March 2009.
