"Two Hands" has won HANDS
DOWN at the "Australian Film Institute" awards.. Two Hands won
in the following awards. The award ceremony was held at the recently opened

be seen.. Rather swanky looking gents and pretty girls.

When Two Hands was first released we realised it was going to be bgi..
IT was the first Australian film to HIT #1 at the domestic box office since
the co-production of George Millers BABE.
The US release date has not yet been set. But pray that there is no customization
done to this bit of Australian cinema. I ask that you sift through the Australian
slang and accents.. Otherwise the film will just be another Australian film
that is dumbed down (ala MAD MAX or The CASTLE) which will cause the film
to loose part of the film.
This is not the first bit of acclaim the film has recieved.. In the US
it went well at this years SUNDANCE film festival and was touted by MTV
as a film to keep and eye out for.
