'An alien spaceship crash-lands in an isolated town in the middle of the Australian desert.

'It releases an insidious parasite that attacks the brain of all creatures including humans, making them disorientated, unnaturally strong and violent.

'Sergeant Jo Sharp, a long-time local cop desperately yearns for the city after being dragged back to the small township due to the birth of her nephew. Prepared to leave, she wakes to find the township without communication. With her last day of duty ahead of her, Jo decides to rectify the problem with the help of her partner Luke Dawson. They soon realise that the ‘simple’ problem of fixing the coms tower is not so simple at all. As unexpected events unfold, the town starts to fall victim to a parasite that is spreading faster than it can be contained.

'The manic town desperately seek salvation as they run from their infected love ones, but it seems they have been trapped by unknown forces. With no way out and the virus claiming more and more townspeople, Jo struggles to understand why… It eventually becomes clear that she must work with the alien creature, who is prepared to destroy the virus at all costs, if she wants to survive.'

1 form y separately published work icon Deeper Than Blue Max's Dreaming Sandra Sciberras , ( dir. Sandra Sciberras ) Australia : Max's Dreaming Pty Ltd , 2002 8949320 2002 single work film/TV

'DEEPER THAN BLUE is a dramatic comedy about hope, recovery and change. An ensemble of funny yet sad characters come to life in a bitterly honest way: from the romance of the leads Rose and Mark to the last chance of an old demented man George to Max, the innocent in all of us. These people weave in and out of each other's lives as if fate is looking from above and somehow coordinating it all.'
