Based on the beloved book, Storm Boy is a timeless story of an unusual and unconditional friendship. TriviaProducer Michael Boughen said of the film's director Shawn Seet: 'From the day I met Shawn, my thoughts and Matthew Street's thoughts never changed; he was the right person,' recalled Boughen. 'The film charts a difficult emotional journey, which would feature a child in the lead, as well as animals, but Shawn understands performers and what they need.

He was someone whom we knew could blend all the complex elements together and maintain the focus of the story. From day one, we shared the same vision and never strayed from that vision.' A visually stunning Australian film that has worldwide appeal for people of ALL ages. The themes about family, friendship, love, loss and loneliness are universal and rounded out with a message of hope for a better future. This is a throughly enjoyable and emotional 'retelling' of Colin Thiele's book of the same name which has been in print for over 55 years. This is not a remake - this is a retelling and should not be compared to the 1976 version.

This film stands on its on merit, it is beautifully shot and superbly acted. It's a remarkable film that will stay with you forever.
