 Lucky Country is a gripping period western and stars Aden Young as Nat, a small landholder barely hanging on to his patch of the bush. His daughter Sarah is just old enough to see herself as a woman, his son Tom just old enough to judge his father as a man. When three ex-soldiers arrive amidst rumours of gold, the group begins to turn on each other, and the cabin becomes a psychological battleground in which Tom's loyalty to his father is put to the ultimate test.
Kriv Stenders has been writing, shooting and directing films ever since he was a teenager. He has directed numerous award-winning and critically acclaimed short films, documentaries, music videos, television commercials and feature films including The Illustrated Family Doctor, Blacktown and Boxing Day.
