Australian actor Mark Leonard Winter (Elvis, The Dressmaker) writes and directs his debut feature, the thought-provoking mystery-drama THE ROOSTER. 

When the body of his oldest friend is found buried in a shallow grave, Dan (Phoenix Raei), a small-town cop, seeks answers from a volatile hermit (Hugo Weaving) who was the last person to see his friend alive. As Dan gets closer to the truth, he must confront his own personal demons and he discovers that hope can be found in unlikely places.
